Is my will legal?

There is a difference between a legal will and a will that works. A legal will is one that give your property away to other people after you die. A will that works is one that give it to the people you want to receive it. A legal will can still work to give your property away. It may give it away in a way you did not intend?

 Does my will work?

We create our will to work in a certain way. We want particular individuals to receive all or some of our possessions. We want to make sure that if those people die before other, then other people of our choosing get our wealth. We may want our spouse, children and relatives to be looked after also. We also want to protect the assets of our estate from being claimed by creditors. Does your will work to do all this?

How do I get my will checked?

A solicitor with expertise knows how to make wills work.  We review lots of wills for people who are not sure if it does what they want it to do. They may have made it a long time ago, or done it yourself.

Can up update my will?

You can change or update your will at any time, as many times as you like.

When should I update my will?

You should certainly create a new will once you marry or divorce. One of the legal effects of marriage and divorce is to revoke all previous wills you have made.

What happens if I don’t have a will?

There is government legislation in place that dictates where all your money and assets go if you have not made a will. It depends on who is around at the time of your death, who needs it and who claims it. You have no say in it. It is impossible to predict.

How do I make a will that works?

Call us and speak to an expert lawyer about making a will. It does not take long, and is not a difficult process for the person making the will.
