What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document that sets out what happens to your money, property, and possessions after you die. Without one, the law decides – and the law does not know your family, your wishes, or the people who matter most to you.
A valid Will made in England and Wales lets you:
- Choose who inherits your estate
- Appoint guardians for your children
- Name executors you trust to carry out your wishes
- Leave gifts to charities or individuals
- Reduce family disputes and legal costs
Who should have a Will?
The short answer: anyone with something to protect. That includes people who own property, have children or stepchildren, are in a long-term relationship but not married, have specific wishes about their funeral, or want to leave something meaningful behind. You do not need to be wealthy to need a Will. You just need to care what happens.
What does having a Will actually achieve?
It protects your family. Without a Will, your estate passes under intestacy rules. That can mean a partner of 20 years receives nothing, or assets go to relatives you have not spoken to in decades.
It avoids delay. Estates without a Will often take longer and cost more to administer. A clear Will speeds up probate and reduces stress at an already difficult time.
It gives you a voice. A Will is the one document where your instructions carry legal weight after you are gone.

Common questions.
Not necessarily - but you do need someone qualified and regulated. Our consultants are trained Will writers who operate within a regulated framework
Your estate is distributed under the intestacy rules: spouse then children then parents then siblings. Partners who are not married have no automatic right to inherit anything.
Technically yes but handwritten and DIY Wills are a common source of disputes and errors. A professionally drafted Will costs far less than sorting out a badly written one.
Review it after any major life change: marriage divorce a new child a house move or a significant change in your finances. We recommend a review every three to five years.
