Estate Planning & Administration

A will prepared by a solicitor is the best way to ensure your estate is divided according to your wishes rather than the fallback statutory rules of intestacy. Home-made wills can result in the executor of your estate applying to the Supreme Court to determine your true intentions at the time of making of your will. Your estate would be reduced by legal costs. In a worst-case scenario, a will prepared incorrectly by yourself would be invalid leaving you with no will and having died intestate.
