Why do you need a will?
If you are a single person, we can draft your will, clearly outlining appointed executors, appointed guardians, division of estate/assets, and beneficiaries.
Unless there is a valid Will, in the event of death, the Law will decide how everything is dealt with and who will benefit from your accumulated wealth.

What types of wills are they?
Single will- Unmarried-No children.
If you die without a Will, your estate will usually pass to your parents (if both are alive, they inherit equally).
If one or both parents have died, your estate will pass to your brothers and sisters (and, if any sibling has died, their share may pass to their children).
If there are no parents or siblings (or their descendants), your estate passes to wider family members (e.g., grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins) in a set legal order. An unmarried partner does not automatically inherit under the intestacy rules, no matter how long you have lived together. Getting married (or entering a civil partnership) normally revokes your existing Will, unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage/civil partnership (a statement can be included to confirm this).
Married but seperated – not yet divorced.
(Until the divorce is finalised, a husband or wife will still inherit the assets regardless of how long they have been separated.)
Any existing will is still valid even after the divorce is complete, so even if the spouse can’t inherit, other provisions such as Executors and gifts may still need to change.
Trustees and Guardians may be necessary to look after your children If parents are divorced, they will still have to share everything equally
Unmarried couple – possibly first-time buyers
Partners are not entitled to anything regardless of how long they have been together
There is no such thing as “common-law wife/husband”
Partners need to provide for each other in their Wills for that to be legally binding
Trustees and Guardians may be necessary for your children
Trusts may be necessary to allow a partner to continue living in a property and to ensure that children can still inherit If you are planning to get married, this can be confirmed in your Will so that the marriage does not affect your will We recommend registering your will with the National Will Register, Certainty. So no matter where you are in the world, you know your will can be found without question.
