LEAVE NO ROOM FOR UNCERTAINTY
Put simply, a will is a legal document that expresses a person’s wishes as to how their property, processions, finances etc are to be distributed after their death and as to which person is to manage final distribution.
Having a will in place if you were to pass away ensures that your wishes surrounding your finances, possessions, and anything else are carried out the way you wanted. AÂ will is designed to make sure all your assets are protected and your wishes are carried out upon your death, this includes possessions, property, and general finances.
If you don’t own a property, you should still decide what happens to the rest of your estate.
Getting expert advice and support for your will means your money, assets and possessions can be safely transferred from one generation to the next.

What is a Will?
Put simply, a will is a legal document that expresses a person’s wishes as to how their property, processions, finances etc are to be distributed after their death and as to which person is to manage final distribution.
What happens if I pass away without a will?
In the UK, if you pass away without a will in place, your estate will be given to your next of kin.
This means, regardless of how close you were to certain friends & family your assets will not go those individuals unless they are your legal default.

Do I Need A Will If I Don’t Own A House?
As we know, a will is designed to make sure all your assets are protected and your wishes are carried out upon your death, this includes possessions, property, and general finances.
If you don’t own a property, you should still decide what happens to the rest of your estate.
What Can I Include In My Will?
In short, anything!
It’s up to you how much detail you add to your will, the more complex your will the likely you are to incur charges by the solicitors.
Generally, you should consider such things as:
- Property
- Money such as private pensions and general savings accounts
- Insurance policies
- Any shares
- Possessions such as artwork
Why Is It Important To Have A Will?
If you do not have a will in place upon your death, it means your estate may not be distributed to the people you care about.
Having a will means you can control what happens to your estate after you pass away.
It can also reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable.
Our trusted wills partner Willfully can guide you through the key benefits of having a will in place.
We're Carbon Neutral
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond being carbon neutral. In addition to offsetting our annual carbon output, we plant a tree for every client we work with.
Each tree has the potential to sequester up to a quarter tonne of CO2 over its lifetime, equivalent to offsetting 1,200 miles driven in a petrol car. This assumes that car is petrol and achieves the UK’s average miles per gallon (MPC) as of 2020.
We’ve now partnered with Ecologi, to not only plant trees but also invest in carbon avoidance projects, reforestation, habitat protection and contribute to beach clean-ups.
