Elder Law
We can assist you in making a Will so as to protect and provide for your loved ones. The making of a Will helps to prevent unnecessary distress and expense to your relations which can sometimes occur if a Will is not made. The making of a Will gives legal status to what you intend to do with your assets and possessions. As the Citizens Information website puts it:
It is important for you to make a will because if you do not, and die without a will, the law on intestacy decides what happens to your property. A will can ensure that proper arrangements are made for your dependants and that your property is distributed in the way you wish after you die, subject to certain rights of spouses/civil partners and children.
