Making a Will

The time when you are buying or selling a house is a good time to make or review your will. This is to make sure that your property and possessions are inherited in accordance with your wishes and you have peace of mind that you have made your wishes clear.

If you do not leave a will your spouse may not inherit everything. If you are not married and you do not leave a will your partner will not inherit your estate.

If your are buying a property in joint names it is important you discuss your co-ownership with us to make sure that your wishes are clear if anything happens to either of you.

Making a will also provides the opportunity to review how you might avoid the payment of a large Inheritance Tax bill from your estate.

By making a will you can appoint executors to deal with your estate and you can appoint a guardian to take care of any children under 18.

If you have already made a will we recommend that you review it when you move house, every five years thereafter or whenever there is any major change in your situation. It is important to remember that if you marry after making a will then that will becomes invalid
