Wills & Probate

 

What is a Will?

A will is a witnessed document that sets out in writing the deceased’s wishes for his or her possessions, called his or her ‘estate’, after death.

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process whereby the estate of a deceased person is dealt with (usually by a solicitor) and distributed to the beneficiaries of the will.

Making A Will

Making a will is one of the most significant legal steps a person can make in his/her lifetime.

Irrespective of your age, state of health or financial status, it is vital that you have a legally recognized valid will in order to ensure that your loved ones and beneficiaries are looked after in the event of your death.

 

More importantly, a Will enables you to have the final say as to how your estate is divided as opposed to having the law impose its solution in the absence of a Will.
