A Legally Staunch Will Writing Service in Manchester
Why You Need a Professional Will Writing Service
A will, in simple terms, is the consideration of what you have and where you want it to go when you pass away. Though there are always the simple formats such as a wife passing on her possessions to a husband or a father to his children, it really isn’t always that simple and even in such ordinary circumstances the process can be lengthy and arduous.
Everyone in the UK is entitled to leave their estate to the beneficiaries they desire, with exact amounts and precise calculation. However, too often it is not this straightforward as the will has been improperly created or poorly writen, leaving parties unhappy and leading to months or years of arbitration.
In order for a will to be properly considered, produced and executed, two parties are required:
Testator: The will writer who must have ‘Testamentary Capacity’ (an individual’s legal and mental ability to create or alter a valid will).
Executor: An individual or group responsible for administering your estate. They will contact the asset holders (banks, investment companies, land registry, etc.) on death and distribute the wealth according to the wishes of the deceased.
“My family is my life, and everything else comes second as far as what's important to me.”
Important Considerations When Writing a Will
The below represent only a few of a long list of factors which must be considered when writing will. By assuring your will has been professionally considered and written, the difficulties these factors pose may be alleviated:
Testamentary Expenses:
These include funeral costs, debts, professional/legal fees and inheritance tax.
Legacies:
Specifically fixed sums which may go to an individual, group or charity on your death.
Guardians:
Guardianship after the death of a parent is not as straightforward as one might assume, and naming a guardian in your will is always the most straightforward way to ensure the future care of children.
Lost Wills:
If there is no will then it may be assumed that it was destroyed prior to death by the deceased party. As a result, your estate may pass on unintentionally to unwanted parties.
Taxes:
A straightforward will may not be the most tax-efficient way to pass on your estate to your beneficiaries. Business, land and assets can attract unwanted levies.
Trusts:
A trust allows you to leave assets to individuals, but with the protection of a trustee who could look after the estate. For more information on trusts, click here.
