ENSURING YOUR WISHES ARE HONOURED AND YOUR LEGACY PROTECTED
A will is a legal document in which a person (the testator) declares their intention as to what should happen to their estate after their death, and which is executed in accordance with certain legal formalities.
Under the law of England and Wales, a will must be executed in accordance with the Wills Act 1837 (as amended by subsequent Acts). In order to be valid, a will must be:
Who can write a will?
There are various ways a will can be written. You can either write your own will or employ a solicitor or a will writing service provider like Treethorpe.
Why write a will?
A will is not just about wealth, assets, and property. It’s a way to ensure your wishes are respected and your legacy remains connected to the people you love, both now and after you’re gone. Whilst a will is not for your benefit while you are living, it significantly impacts those you leave behind.
At Treethorpe, we specialise in genealogy and estate administration. We often handle cases where individuals have died intestate (without a will), which means that the executor and the distribution of their estate are determined by the laws of intestacy. This can result in personal decisions being made by someone you might not have chosen.
Moreover, intestacy can lead to additional costs, uncertainty, inheritance tax inefficiencies, and emotional distress for your surviving family members.
By creating a will, you can clearly outline your wishes, alleviating the financial and emotional burden on your loved ones.
