How To
How to make a will with a lawyer
A will is an important legal document that determines who receives what after your death. It contains instructions about how to pay debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer) should prepare a will. Two witnesses must sign it. You have the option to opt not to create a will if everything is to be left to someone else, with no restrictions on how they spend it. This can cause problems later, if you are unable or unwilling to consent to medical treatment.
If you do not have a will, the state will appoint trustees to manage your estate until you die. This includes paying all your debts off and giving away any property. The trustees can sell your home or distribute the proceeds to your beneficiaries if you do not have a will. Administrators of your estate will be charged a fee.
There are three main reasons why you need to draw up a will. First, it protects your loved one from being left without a will. It ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you pass away. Thirdly, it makes it easier for your executor (the person appointed to fulfill your wishes).
Contact a solicitor first to discuss your options. Cost of a will is dependent on whether you are single or married. Not only can solicitors help you write a will but they can also advise you about other matters such:
-
