Making a Will

Everyone is different!  Everyone has a different story to tell!  That is why at Brethertons LLP we craft every Will to the particular needs of our clients.  It is important to us that we fully understand your family and financial background before drafting your Will.  We take the time to talk through your circumstances, rather than simply putting you through a form-filling exercise.

A vast number of the UK population die each year without making a Will.  This is called Intestacy.

There are more people again, who die believing they had a valid Will, only to leave their family to discover in horror that due to problems in its completion the Will is invalid.

It may sound obvious, but why leave something so important to chance?

There are many reasons why it is essential to make a Will, here are just a few of our thoughts:-

1.Clarity – you will help your family through the grieving process if you   are clear about your wishes.
2. You prevent an Intestacy arising.
3. You can protect and provide for vulnerable individuals or disabled beneficiaries
4. You can reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be paid (tax planning).
5. You can appoint Guardians to look after young children.
6. You can provide for the person that you live with (co-habitee) and share your life with when you are not married or have not entered into a civil partnership.
7. You can make gifts to friends and charities
8. You can direct what will happen to your business.
9. You can protect your home in case your partner needs to go into nursing care.
10. You can provide for children from different relationships where there have perhaps been subsequent marriages.
11. You can achieve peace of mind that you have achieved all of these things.
