Wills & Letters of Wishes

In short — We draft bespoke Wills tailored to your circumstances — for later-life planning, care fee mitigation and protecting against sideways inheritance — alongside Letters of Wishes.

A Will is one of the most important documents you’ll ever create, and it’s vital to get it right. People often say any Will is better than no Will — that simply isn’t true. A Will needs to fit your particular circumstances, or it can be more damaging than having no Will at all. For example, someone with an old Will may not realise it still gifts everything to a partner he broke up with 20 years ago — leaving the mother of his children, with whom he now lives, nothing under his “last Will”. We work with you to make sure your Will is bespoke and covers your specific requirements.

We can help you with:

• Drafting a bespoke Will tailored to your specific circumstances and wishes
• Later-life planning, including care fee mitigation — for example, where Spouse A leaves her entire estate to Spouse B, who later moves into residential care and has 100% of that estate assessed towards his care fees. The right advice can help reduce this risk.
• Protecting against sideways inheritance — for example, where Spouse A leaves her estate to Spouse B, who remarries and leaves everything to a new spouse, so that Spouse A’s children inherit nothing. The correct provisions in the Will can prevent this.
• Letters of Wishes that explain the intention behind your Will — crucial for complex estates or family structures, such as gifting across generations, excluding beneficiaries or guiding your children’s legal guardians
• Acting as Professional Executor to ensure your wishes are strictly followed
