Will Writing Solicitors
Wills enable you to plan out how your assets like money, property and items are distributed in the event of your death or illness. You Will also appoint an Executor (the person responsible for dealing with your estate).
When you properly plan a Will your assets and loved ones will be protected in the most tax efficient way. At Wright Hassall we offer a Will writing service that ensures your Will is written effectively. Get in touch with us today for further information and support.
What to consider when writing a Will
When writing a Will there are a few things you should consider, such as:
- Identifying your assets.
- Determining your Executors (you can have up to four Executors).
- Fully naming your beneficiaries (those who will receive specific assets identified in your Will).
- Identifying your children and any financial dependents.
- Identifying any of your funeral wishes.
- Thinking about the taxes you may need to pay, such as Inheritance Tax (this will come out of your estate).
- Determining who will witness and sign your Will.
- Updating your Will when changes occur like getting married or gaining new assets.
