"MILLIONS of people who fail to make a will are putting their families and dependents at financial risk." - Helen Loveless, Mail on Sunday
Every adult should make a Will. If you do not make a Will, your property will be
disposed of in accordance with the intestacy laws, and your wishes will not be taken into
account. In fact, in some cases, if you do not make a will, your property may even go to
the Crown.
We offer a full will-writing service. Following your enquiry, we will contact you to take detailed instructions in relation to your property, your intended beneficiaries and your wishes. When all of the relevant details have been obtained, any specific issues will be discussed with you in detail and where appropriate, further advice will be provided to you. A draft will may then be sent to you.
Before your will is finalised, it will be reviewed by a partner who has both experience of dealing with the preparation of wills and also extensive experience dealing with litigation claims involving will disputes. This experience of litigating will disputes provides an additional insight to avoid any potential problems arising so that you can be completely confident that your wishes will be carried out.

Dangers of not making a Will
BBC News Online - 5th April 2007.
Ian Burman
"Half of all Britons have not made a will.
The law sets out clear rules for what happens to your estate - property, personal possessions and cash - if you die without a will.
Passing away without a will is known in legal parlance as dying intestate and the rules that govern the distribution of the estate in such circumstances is known as the law of intestacy.
