Why make a Will?
A lot of people avoid the subject of will making. WHY? "It is tempting fate" or "the kids are going to get everything anyway!" are just some of responses we have heard.
The answer to why to make a will is simple, it leaves no doubt as to your wishes.
How do I make a Will?
There are a few ways to do it:
Option 1: Cheap and cheerful method - buy an off the peg Will at your stationers, fill it out yourself and hope that you address all possible eventualities. Only recommend this if you have some legal training.
Option 2: Unqualified Will writers - these firms are often seen in supermarkets and shopping malls selling their service. They tend to make home visits, have the Will created from a central office and can be expensive. Cautionary tail, don't loss or misplace the copy of your Will as you a reliant on your memory as to who did the job for you.
Option 3: Solicitors - qualified professionals who are trained to look at all aspects of your wishes, and to give qualified advice on protecting your wishes.Cost, more than Option 1 but tend to be less than Option 2
