What Does a Will Writer Do?

Our professionalism, your peace of mind

Using a professional Will writer can save you money, time and heartache. By making sure your Will has been drafted correctly, you ensure your future peace of mind – and that of your family when they are coping with bereavement.

A Will writer helps you to complete a legally valid document that protects you and your family. The  expertise means your money and possessions go to the people you care about.

There are many different types of Will. One of the most important tasks a Will writer has is to make sure that yours is completely appropriate to your circumstances and your wishes. 

What to Expect From a Will Writer

When you work with one of our experienced consultants, you will find they do so much more than simply write your Will.

At your initial meeting – either at our offices, at home or online – we will find out all about your family situation, and your intentions when it comes to passing on your money and property.

Only then can we help you to decide what type of Will is the best for your circumstances. We will also discuss how you want to divide your assets between your beneficiaries, including your family and any good causes you want to support. 

That is not the end of the process. You will have plenty of chances to discuss your Will. You may need some of the detailed legal language explained – and you may want to change your mind further down the line. 

Our Will Writing Process

Once we have learned from you exactly what your wishes are for the distribution of your assets, we draw up an initial draft of your Will.

You then check this and either confirm it meets your requirements, or ask us to make changes.

After that, we can prepare a final version for you to sign in the presence of witnesses.

As well as writing your Will, we can also help you with a Lasting Powers of Attorney, which will give trusted people your permission to make decisions for you if you become incapable of doing so.

It is Never Too Soon to See a Will Writer

Sadly, many people assume they do not need a Will. They believe all their money and possessions will automatically go to their partner or children.

But that is not the case. If you die intestate, without a Will, it can lead to delay, complication and extra expense as your affairs are sorted out.

You should definitely make a Will when you buy property, get married or have children. Even if you already have a Will, a life-changing moment like this should be the time to review your Will and draw up a new one if necessary.

If you divorce and remarry, for instance, you need to have a new Will written to protect your children or beneficiary’s inheritance.
