Will Aftercare
Long-Term Peace of Mind
Once you have finalised your Will, signed it and had it witnessed, what happens next? We offer an ongoing ‘aftercare’ service such that you and your loved ones can enjoy continued peace of mind from the moment your Will is legally valid until the time when it is needed after your death.
The Will Power Aftercare Service includes the following three elements:
Storing Your Will
Never forget how important your Will is. It is a vital legal document that will ensure your assets are passed to the people you want to receive them.
That means it is essential that your Will is stored safely and securely, in a place where it cannot be damaged, destroyed, altered or lost.
If any of those things should happen, your Will would be invalid and you would have died intestate.
We keep your original Will safe in a secure, climate-controlled vault. We take legal responsibility for your Will, backed up by our £2million professional indemnity insurance.
You can keep a copy at home, and you and your executors will receive a document informing you where the original is and how to retrieve it.
Updating Your Will
If you want to make simple updates and changes to your Will, that is covered by our aftercare service.
Make your amendments on your copy of the Will and send it to us by post or email. We suggest you call us for a free review appointment to discuss the changes before you make them.
Once we receive your revisions, we update your Will and send you a new version to be signed and witnessed.
If there are any legislation changes that might affect your Will, we will do our best to tell you. That way, your Will stays both current and relevant to you.
Professional Legal Help
As part of our aftercare service, we will advise your executors on the Probate process after your death.
At a time when those close to you are coping with bereavement, our experts will help them to deal with your Will efficiently and effectively. They will advise on the best course of action to take, such as minimising Inheritance Tax.
If your executors are reluctant for any reason to proceed, they can take advantage of our estate administration service. One of our expert consultants will collect the information on your estate and share it with our legal team to obtain a grant of Probate.
This service takes the pressure off your executors at a time when they are coming to terms with losing you.
Your Next Step
At Will Power, we do not believe making a Will should be a one-off process. Our aftercare service is here to ensure that, once your Will has been written, signed and witnessed, you and your loved ones continue to receive the support you need.
Our knowledgeable and friendly team will be happy to discuss with you the various elements of our aftercare service and how they will benefit you and your executors.
