North West Wills and Estate Planning Information

NORTHWEST WILLS

You can’t put a price on peace of mind -

but if you don’t have a Will it could prove to be very costly

PERSONAL SERVICE

Here at North West Wills of Preston we pride ourselves on our personal service and friendly approach, so we try to make it as easy as possible for you to make a Will. Here’s how...

We come to see you in the comfort and privacy of your own home, or another convenient location if you prefer and at a time that suits you (including evenings and weekends). 

We will come for a no obligation chat about any worries you may have about an existing Will or give you professional advice on Will writing.

Whilst we prefer to meet face to face in Preston and the North West there may be occasions where this is not possible, in which case we are more than happy to advise you and take instructions over the phone.

70% of people in the UK pass away without having made a Will (this is known as intestate). 

Make sure you’re not one of them.

You work hard and save for your retirement and take out pensions and savings plans. You may insure your possessions and yourselves without a second thought. But have you made a Will? It is the ultimate insurance for peace of mind that your wishes are met after you die.

Making a Will is not just for the elderly. Everyone should make a Will for their present circumstances and review it after every major life change, e.g. marriage, starting a family, divorce, retirement.

North West Wills will bring peace of mind

Having a Will professionally drawn up is not expensive, nor do you need to see a solicitor. 

It is possible to write your own Will but there are too many pitfalls to make that option viable; also, it is easy to make simple mistakes that could cost your family and friends dearly.

This is where North West Wills of Preston come in.

We are an authorised consultant for Legacy Estate Planning who are ISO9002 accredited, specialist Will Writers for over 20 years who provide the legal knowledge and proven wording to ensure that your Will truly reflects your wishes - one that will stand up in a court of law.

Making a Will is the only way of ensuring that your estate is distributed in the way you want.

DID YOU KNOW?

• If you die without making a Will the Government effectively writes one for you and your estate will go to various members of your family as set out by the rules of intestacy. Go to our website to see who would get your money if you died without a Will.  click here
• If you have children under 18 and you die without a Will your children will be taken into care until the courts decide who will look after them. By appointing a legal guardian in your Will this will ensure that your children will be looked after by whomever you wanted. 
• If you are a homeowner, without a Will and proper planning you can be forced to sell your home under the Community Care Act in order to pay for long term care - this may deprive your families of their inheritance.
• If you are unmarried and die without a Will your partner may not inherit your estate, even if you have children together.
• If you are married or in a civil partnership and die without a Will do not assume everything will go to your spouse or partner. Children, brothers, sisters and other relatives may inherit part of the estate.
• If you are single and die without a Will your friends and family may not benefit from your estate as you would wish.
• If you are separated and die without a Will your estranged spouse will inherit part of your estate.
• If you have a business and die without a Will your business may not be able to continue trading, depriving your family of ongoing income.
