Why write your Will?
Writing or reviewing your Will is one of the most important things you can do. Having an up to date copy makes it easier for your loved ones to follow your wishes when you're gone. If you don't have a valid Will, everything you own will be shared following certain rules, rather than according to your personal wishes.
If at least 10% of your taxable estate is left to a charity, the inheritance tax rate for the rest of your estate drops from 40% to 36%.

*Description of a complex Will
Whether a standard uncomplicated Will is suitable for you depends on your circumstances and needs. More complex Wills, often involving trusts, may be needed:
- If you have children from previous relationships, you may wish to ensure your partner/spouse is looked after but also to ensure your children receive their inheritance.
- If you have property abroad, UK Wills may not be enough on their own to deal with assets in foreign jurisdictions and you may need Wills in those countries to cover them.
- If you want to protect the inheritance of a beneficiary who is in receipt of benefits.
- If you are leaving out someone who has a right to apply to court to become a beneficiary (for example: former spouses who have not remarried, children or people you treat as your child, cohabitees, or others financially dependent upon you).
- If your assets are valued over £500,000 for individuals or £1,000,000 for couples you may have an Inheritance Tax liability to consider.
The above is not an exhaustive list. Participating firms will discuss your circumstances and needs with you and agree any additional fees with you before proceeding.
