The Importance Of Drafting A Will

Having a will is crucial as it allows you to decide what happens to your assets, including your money, property and possessions once you have passed away. It allows you to provide for your loved ones while significantly reducing the amount of stress they may face following your passing.

Alongside protecting your assets, having a carefully crafted will can help to reduce the inheritance tax that your estate is liable for. Your will can also outline any charities you would like to donate to, as well as your funeral requests.

Without a will in place, your assets will be shared out according to the UK’s intestacy rules. This means that no matter how close you are to your nearest and dearest, those you want to benefit from your asset may go without.

Not having a will in place can be a source of family arguments and can lead to unresolvable disputes. In addition, your loved ones will have to go through the probate process, which can be challenging and lengthy. For particularly complex cases, it can be years before probate is granted and assets are shared out.

Do I Need To Use A Solicitor When Creating A Will?

No. If it is straightforward, you can write a will yourself or choose a will-writing business to write it for you. However, a will is a legally binding document, and if there are any errors in your will, or any unexpected changes, it can cause significant problems for your loved ones in the future.

To ensure your wishes are met and to avoid costly mistakes, it is strongly recommended that you use a solicitor when writing a will. Aside from providing peace of mind to you, it will save a lot of stress for those you leave behind.

Most solicitors offer a fixed-fee approach when writing your will. The UK government advises the use of a legal professional in particular if:

• You co-own a property with someone that is not your spouse
• You own a business and would like to create a business succession plan and/or include it within your will
• You permanently live outside of the UK
• You would like to leave your assets to someone who is not capable of looking after themselves
• There are several family members who may be expecting to benefit from your assets and may make a claim on your will, such as children from a previous marriage or a second spouse
• You own a second (or multiple) property outside of the UK, such as a holiday home.

Using a solicitor is also particularly beneficial if you are creating a joint will, are concerned about inheritance tax, would like to include a charitable organisation in your will or if you have a farm and/or rural business.
