Wills & estates Β· Planning

Making a will

A clear, valid will is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you love. We help you set out your wishes so they're followed β€” and hard to challenge.

Part of our Wills & estates practice.

How we help

What we help with

The process

How it works

Understand your wishes

We talk through your family, your assets and what you want to happen.

Draft it properly

We prepare a valid will that says what you mean and reduces the risk of a dispute.

Keep it current

We help you review your will after big life changes β€” marriage, children, separation, new assets.

Good to know

Common questions

What happens if I die without a will?

Your estate is divided by a legal formula that may not reflect your wishes, and it's harder and costlier for your family. A will avoids that.

Can a will be challenged?

Yes β€” but a well-drafted will, made with proper advice, is far harder to contest. We help you plan for known risks, like a blended family.

Do I need to update it?

Yes, after major changes. Marriage can revoke a will; separation and new children change things too.

What is a testamentary trust?

A trust created by your will that can protect assets and be tax-effective for your beneficiaries. We'll advise if it suits you.
