About this deal
Before writing a will, it's worth thinking about who will inherit your most important assets and any other wishes for your estate.
Pros - all members specialise in Wills, must pass an entrance exam to join, must undertake regular enhanced criminal records checks, must undertake continuing professional development (ie ongoing training). After whatever gifts you make, the residue of your estate is divided between two or more people in shares you specify. MoneyHelper is the new, easy way to get clear, free, impartial help for all your money and pension choices.It is generally advisable to use a solicitor or to have a solicitor check a will you have drawn up to make sure it will have the effect you want. Before making a decision on who to use, it's always advisable to check with a few local solicitors to find out how much they charge. If The Law Society truly wishes to support our views on regulation, it should insist that all solicitors be trained in will writing, pass examinations in this area of law and then commit to on-going training and development in this area.
Check to see if you can find a certificate of deposit, which will have been sent to them if they arranged for the will to be kept by the Principal Registry of the Family Division.Beware free will-writing services, or companies, that name themselves as executors of your will after you pass away. You should review your will after a significant life event, such as the birth of a child or a divorce.
