What is the process for writing a Will?
Our aim is to provide you with clear, reassuring support from the start. You will be appointed a member of our team who will be with you throughout the process, offering step-by-step guidance to ensure you feel confident making sensitive decisions. The process begins with a friendly consultation and then the reviewing of various details such as what assets you’d like to include; appointing executors; designating beneficiaries; naming guardians for children, and other specific legacy requests.
The Will writing process needs to be thorough to ensure that it takes all your considerations into account and that it meets legal requirements. The length of time it takes to draft a Will depends on individual circumstances such as the number of aspects for consideration. Once we have all the information we need, we will work promptly to draft you a document for your review, before it is finalised.
