will writing service rotherham

When, or why, do I need a Will?

A lot of us will ask ourselves some form of this question at a point in our lives.  It’s an important question for several reasons.  Primarily a Will can help to give you peace of mind.  We all want to know that our property, possessions, and our wishes will be carried out properly after we’re gone; a Will helps to ensure that they are.

When someone dies without a Will this is known as intestate and it is governed by specific rules.  In short it will mean that the courts will decide how your assets are passed and this could potentially cause unnecessary conflict and distress.

Whilst a Will may seem simple, it’s something that is important to get right.  Because any small errors will be open, to potentially incorrect, interpretation and even potentially invalidate the Will.

Whether you want to ensure a specific share between your family or want to make some specific charitable donations our Wills team can help.

What do I need to know before making a will?

When writing a Will, you will need to decide who will be the Executors.  These are the people who will carry out the instructions you leave behind in your will.  It’s an important position and you will want to choose someone you can depend on.

As far as possessions are concerned specific items can be left exactly how you wish.  For example, there may be a family heirloom you want to leave to a specific person, or an item of specific sentimental value you want to ensure goes to the right place.  These are things which can be listed and guaranteed when you make a Will.  Additionally, any money you leave behind can be distributed exactly to your wishes.

How can we help?

Our expert team can give you advice across the entire spectrum of Will enquires.   Whether you need a simple and straight forward single Will or need a complex dual Will with many accounted elements, we can help.

Victoria Haycock

Ben bainbridge, will writing faqs, what is a will.

A will is a document in which you outline your assets (property, money, investments, possessions etc) and how you want these to be distributed upon your death.

You will also appoint a person or professional to conduct the administration of your estate. This role is known as an executor.

You can also appoint guardians for your children if they are minors upon your death.

If you die without a will this is called dying intestate. This means that your estate will be passed in accordance with a set of statutory rules. As a result your nominated beneficiaries may not inherit your assets.

Do I Need A Will?

By making a will this can ensure:-

• Your hard earned assets are passed to whom you would like to inherit them. If you do not make a will then you could inadvertently leave assets to estranged relatives or the government.
• Your children are looked after by whom you would like to bring them up, by appointing legal guardians.
• Incorporate trusts to ensure that assets are accessible in a way you would like the beneficiary to receive them.
• Reduce Inheritance Tax (IHT) payable upon your estate.
• Your wishes are clearly written in a document. This could ensure there are no arguments over your estate.
• If you were to ask your partner what song you would want playing at your funeral do you think they would know? With a will you can ensure your funeral plans are incorporated.

Do I need a Solicitor to write my will?

What happens if i change my mind after i have made my will, how much does it cost to have a will written, what is a lasting power of attorney, what are the types of lasting power of attorney.

There are 2 types of Lasting Power of Attorney. There is one for health and welfare and one for finance and property.

Health and Welfare – This would allow your nominated agent to make day to day care decisions on your behalf should you have lost mental capacity to do so yourself.

Finance and Property – This would allow your nominated agent the legal authority to manage your financial affairs on your behalf, should you have lost mental capacity to do so yourself.

What happen if I do not have lasting power of attorney in place?

Will Writing Service in Rotherham

Enquire Today For A Free No Obligation Quote

A will is an extremely important part of your life – and your death. Without a will, you can create all kinds of financial and interpersonal problems among friends and family, especially if there are already tensions between different people in your personal and home life in August 2024.

Table of Contents

If you do not already have an existing will, then it can seem daunting to try and create one from scratch. Many people in Rotherham have no idea how a will looks, let alone how to create a legal document that can contain all the assets they want to spread around after their death. Even a basic will can seem like a tough document to produce on your own.

The best alternative is to use a cheap, reliable will writing service. Will writers can help you put together a will that is not only legally valid and binding but accurate to your wishes and the way that you want your family to be compensated after your passing.

A will is a major part of getting your affairs in order. We are a team of specialist will writers that understand how to tailor every single will to the client’s wishes and needs, acting as legal professionals to review and amend your will as needed to better suit the legal framework it exists in.

If you are interested in getting a valid will created, then our will writing services may be the best place to turn. There is no easier way to get a will created than sitting in the comfort of your own home and letting the professionals handle it for you.

Why Use Us?

Our team of specialist in-house solicitors and experts have formed a will writing service with a strong legal core. We understand how to construct a will that will not be contested or found invalid, writing firm and decisive details that fall within the legal requirements of any written will.

Co-Op Legal Services

We consider ourselves to offer co-op legal services, with several specialists cooperating at all times. This does not impact the solicitor cost and ensures that you get the best results possible.

Thanks to our Rotherham online will writing service, plenty of past clients have been able to rest easy, safe in the knowledge that our will writing services have given each family member the security and stability they will need. As legal documents, it takes a lot of skill to craft a will completely free of ambiguity and uncertain language.

Our Work in Rotherham

If you want to prove testamentary capacity and ensure that your will is carried out, then you want a will that is professionally written and able to give you all the right legal cover. A professional service like ours is not just there to protect someone’s interests but to make sure that the personal circumstances behind your will do not compromise your wishes.

Inheritance, Wills & Probate Barristers Rotherham

Our Rotherham experts are far more than just simple will-writers. We know how to write wills that properly distribute your assets to your chosen beneficiaries, making sure that there are no vague terms or hard-to-understand passages that get in the way of a clear and direct will statement.

As a licensed team of barristers and legal experts, we understand how inheritance laws relate to your personal possessions. We also have a full understanding of the legal processes surrounding British wills and how they should be approached if you want a will of your own.

Our online will writing service provides an easy way to get a new will written quickly, tailored to your exact needs and preferences, through multiple in-depth discussions. Will writing services like ours need to be prepared to sift through legal details and personal information to figure out how the right kind of will can be constructed.

A will dictates what happens after your death, concerning both immediate family and personal friends. A professionally-drafted will is not just something you get for style – it also provides you with the legal protection and support you need to have your wishes carried out correctly.

A large part of our duties as your will writing service involves us carefully piecing together a will that matches your wishes and needs, making sure that absolutely nothing can be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Any vagueness could allow the will to be challenged, compromising your original intentions and wishes as a result.

Inheritance

Wills are commonly used to set aside possessions or assets for inheritance, whether that is your own home or just a simple lump sum of money. We know how to write inheritance documents in a way that will not leave any doubt about how those assets are distributed and the terms behind them being handed over.

This includes details like overseas assets or money that is given in set amounts every year – things that can require highly specific legal language to get right. In a complex family situation, our professional assistance can make a big difference in how the inheritance is carried out.

Probate is the process of a person getting the legal right to deal with your personal property after your death. Your will can name a family member or friend that you trust to handle your assets – if you do not, then your closest living relative may have a chance to apply for probate.

A will allows you to specify your own executor (or executors) that will carry out your wishes instead. Since probate awards some control over your assets, you may have somebody you would prefer to name as your executor – former partners, close family members, a best friend, etc.

Probate might sound like a small detail, but it can be important if you have highly specific wishes for what will happen after your death. Our will writing services take these details into account, even if they do not initially appear to be all that important.

Reasons For Getting A Will Written

There are many reasons to get a will written, some more obvious than others. This includes:

You Have Specific Wishes

Wills allow you to specify the kind of Rotherham funeral that you want and means that your family do not have to make that decision for you. This can be important since many people have specific personal or religious preferences that will impact how they want their body to be treated after their death.

You Have Dependent Children

Providing for children after your death is important, especially if they are your own children. If you die without a will, then the courts will choose who takes care of them and what assets they are given, so specifying your wishes can be important.

You Aren’t Married

If you are not married or in a partnership, then there is no guarantee that your partner will get anything after your death. This could even include the home that you have both been living in if you owned it.

You Own Overseas Property

Owning property overseas can complicate things since inheritance laws might be different between the two countries. This often requires you to specify your own inheritance requirements – this gives your family and friends some guidelines on what they should be doing.

You Worry About Inheritance Tax

Inheritance tax can become a problem if your estate is worth more than £325,000 upon death. Specifying that everything above that threshold goes to your spouse can result in them avoiding the tax.

Things Change

Updating your will can be important if circumstances change. It is possible to keep a single will throughout your entire life (although your existing will is cancelled if you get married), but you will want to keep updating your will to make sure that it is relevant to your current wishes and list of assets.

Where to get a will written?

Online will-writing services provide a useful place to get wills written quickly and efficiently, condensing the usual will-writing process into something far more convenient. Local solicitors and online specialists like us are a great way to get your wills created on short notice.

Online wills are no less valid than wills that were written in person in Rotherham. In fact, many online wills are written with more care and specificity than the alternative, thanks to the wider pool of experience that online specialists like ours can draw from. Online platforms are akin to an online law firm – offering the same protection in a more convenient fashion.

Keep in mind that will writing is not a regulated market. You want to be sure that you are using will and probate services you can trust, so be sure to do your research on any local solicitor you consider. Even a licensed solicitor may not be experienced enough to write more than a simple will with minimal details.

How to get a will written?

The easiest way to get a will written is to simply approach a will-writing team and start telling them what you are looking for. Our will specialists know how to turn even the most basic of will concepts into an effective legal document, all without major delays or legal hurdles.

You can contact us directly if you need a will written by experts who know exactly what they are doing. We are more than happy to take up the responsibilities of writing your will, putting all of our expertise and past successes into producing the best document possible.

What is the Cost of a Will Writing Service?

On average, expect to pay anything from £100 to £150 for a single will, £250 for a mirror will, and £400 for trust wills in Rotherham. This can vary depending on where you go, but paying more for a higher-quality will is almost always a worthwhile trade.

A will writing service involves a lot of serious legal work and careful planning to ensure that the document is legally correct and free from any misunderstandings or vague passages. Even a small mistake in terminology can completely destroy an otherwise perfect document – many of the extra costs here are due to the time it takes to produce a good will.

A cheap will might technically be valid, but it may not offer the same fine print details that a higher-quality option does. This can become a significant problem at a later date – for example, a budget will using the wrong terminology for your civil partner or not specifying a legal guardian for your children.

Best will writing service near me

Finding a good will writing service in Rotherham can involve a lot of searching in your own time. However, the best wills come from experts, and online services mean that you do not even need to be in the same part of the country to get a will prepared for you.

Online wills are perfectly legal, meaning that they can be a great option for people who want something more than their local will-writers can offer.

Legal Will vs Online Will

Getting a will written by local legal professionals can often seem like the right choice, especially if you do not want to spend too much time searching for any alternatives. However, online documents offer far more flexibility and often come from specialists with more varied kinds of experience.

Wills can be tricky to write, and you might think that an online will writing service would be a riskier option. However, both are fully legal – the only difference is which one suits your needs best, and how well you choose the company providing it.

The Advantages Of Getting Will Written By A Solicitor

Writing your will yourself is always an option, but even then, it can be a smart idea to get a will writer to revise and reword it. This is because:

• A solicitor knows what to ask. They will cover details you did not even consider to leave no loopholes or vague details.
• A professional can draft your will correctly, making it far more legally admissible.
• A solicitor will word your will correctly and use the right kind of language, ensuring that nothing is misinterpreted and none of your wishes can be spun into something they are not.
• A good solicitor understands how to draft wills to accommodate complex family structures or tense financial stations.
• You get the option of extra steps, such as inheritance planning.

What happens if I die without making a will?

If you die without having written a will, then your assets and debts pass on to your partner. If you have no surviving partner, then any children you might have take on the estate, divided equally.

While this is sometimes fine for tight-knit families in Rotherham that can distribute the wealth as intended anyway, this can become a problem in almost any other situation.

Divorced or separated partners cannot inherit, but cohabiting or informally-separated partners still can. Other relatives may be able to inherit under specific circumstances if there is nobody else who can, following a specific order of priority.

If you have no people who are eligible to inherit your assets, then they pass to the Crown. This effectively puts them in the hands of the government, meaning that they are no longer accessible to your family unless somebody makes a case to prove otherwise.

What exactly is a will?

In general, a will is a document that spells out exactly what you want to happen after your death. That means the treatment of children, spouses, civil partners, bank accounts, properties, assets, and anything else that you might want to specify. It also includes your funeral preferences and any inheritances you wish to happen.

What Can you Include in a Will?

You can include a lot in a will, mostly involving who in your family or private life gets what. This might mean things like giving bank accounts to a civil partner or trying to securely store inheritances until your children are old enough to use them wisely.

What types of gifts can I include in my will?

There are three types of gifts involved in a will:

• Specific, meaning a particular item you own or amount of money you want to give.
• Non-specific, meaning a general term like “my collection of antiques”. These can sometimes require some interpretation from the beneficiaries.
• Residuary, meaning everything left after the specific and non-specific gifts. This could be to a specific person, or a general order to divide everything else up fairly.

You can also give gifts to children, held until they are 18, or give gifts directly to charities as a donation.

Can an executor of a will also be a beneficiary?

An executor in Rotherham can be a beneficiary, and the executor is often chosen from the main beneficiaries of the estate. Sometimes multiple are chosen to prevent bias and self-interest.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a house?

Wills cover all belongings, not just property. “Estate” does not mean your physical estate but your general assets as a whole.

What if I don’t have anything to leave?

Having a properly drafted will can be important even if you have no direct assets. You and your possessions may be worth more than you think, and you can also use a will to specify your funeral wishes.

Tips for writing a will if you have young children

Writing a will when children are involved can be hard – but we can help guide you through the process. Parental responsibility involves picking guardians for children who may be left parent-less, and naming them if you have any specific assets you want them to take on.

Always put parental responsibility first. You do not want to leave your children with nothing.

Can I include funeral wishes in my will?

A large part of the will involves funeral wishes in Rotherham. These can be amended if you change your mind later on.

Can a will help protect my home against potential care home fees?

While you can’t avoid care home fees, certain methods of creating a will can allow you to not pay inheritance tax.

I’m not married to my partner – should I make a will?

Making a will is important for any partnership that is not a marriage or civil partnership. Without a will, only certain situations will result in your assets being given to a non-spouse partner.

How does getting married affect your will?

Being married – or entering a civil partnership – makes your duties as will writer that much more important. Spouses and civil partners will not necessarily need to be left anything specific, but mirror wills can still be important for ensuring that certain assets pass between you if one of you dies.

Making a will and mental capacity

If a person lacks the mental capacity to create a will, then any will they create will not be legally binding. Using an online will service may allow you to get around this problem.

Our will writing service makes the process easy

Making a will can be simple if you use an online will writing service like ours. We provide a huge range of different options for creating the perfect will for your needs, discussing each point in detail to make sure that we are creating something that matches your wishes exactly.

We can deal with all kinds of specific information, from your registered civil partnership to the inclusion of a disabled family member. If you are living in England and Wales, then our services can provide exactly what you need – and we can start writing as soon as you need us.

Solicitors Regulation Authority

We at Get A Will Written in Rotherham are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and are part of a recognised trade body. This connection with the Solicitors Regulation Authority shows that we are taking our online service very seriously.

Can any of my beneficiaries be a witness when I am making my will?

A beneficiary can’t witness a will, and neither can the spouse or partner of those beneficiaries. While many wills are created with around two witnesses there, our online service allows each client to create separate wills in private.

Where should I store my will?

Always store your will somewhere safe. This could be a locked safe, a filing cabinet, or a special hiding place. You need the physical document, so do not lose it, and get another created if you do.

Can my will be challenged?

Any will can be challenged, but that does not mean it will necessarily be successful. Most successful challenges involve situations where somebody is ignored unfairly in your will, or you have a request or gift that does not make sense and is not possible for your family and friends to complete.

What does undue influence mean in will writing?

Undue influence happens when somebody is pressured into creating a will, adding details they normally would not. This is not a practice approved by any legal body, and wills can be contested on the grounds that they appear out-of-character or biased towards somebody who may have forcibly had it changed for their own benefit.

Not all wills are regulated – Be Careful

Not all wills are safe and reliable. Even in England and Wales, you can end up setting wills that are not tax-efficient, that use incorrect information, or that are not even legally binding. Always choose a service or solicitor you feel confident with, like us.

FAQ’s

Do debts die with you.

Debts only die with you when there is no estate left and/or no relatives left to pay them in Rotherham. While most debts will not incur any additional costs due to your death, they will not go away easily.

What about inheritance tax?

Inheritance tax only applies if your estate is worth more than 325,000. You can avoid this problem by splitting your money up more to get below that threshold.

Can I leave a will If I become incapacitated?

You can leave a will at any time. However, standard wills only apply if you die. The exception is living wills, which include details like whether or not you want to be resuscitated. These might also specify things that hold lasting power over your family even before you die, like property being given to family members in the event of you being severely wounded.

Can I Write My Own Will?

While you can write your own will, it is important to turn to a specialist as soon as you can. Wills require a lot of specialist legal language that the average person has not encountered before.

Even if you have every step of the writing process witnessed correctly by another person with some legal experience, the will you produce and the will we produce may feel like two separate wills.

What can I do if I think a relative’s estate has gone to the Crown?

You can attempt to claim an unclaimed estate if you think you have a reasonable justification for it. This is easiest to do when you are a relative. However, there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

Living together but not married or in a civil partnership in Rotherham? A ‘cohabitation agreement’ gives you protection.

Cohabitation offers you some legal protection in England and Wales. Even if you are not married, you can still take your partner’s assets in many cases.

Is it possible to change somebody’s will after they have died?

You can only change a will if everybody involved in the decision agrees. This includes people who may be worse off from the changes. Challenging a will also counts.

We understand that you may have a complex family situation and only want all the assets to go to your immediate family or specific people, which is why we offer a probate service as well as help to write your will.

Our Rotherham barristers have a great understanding and experience with inheritance laws and will ensure that your will is handled the same way you desire. Working with our service provides the legal cover you and your family may need during this time, as well as providing a valid will.

Reasons For Getting A Will Written

Creating a will for the first time or getting a new will organised is a task that many people put off. However, it is one of the most important things you can do and may not take as much work as you have anticipated, especially when working with a professional will writer.

Getting a will organised is a way of protecting your family and loved ones following your death, ensuring that all your assets are handled in the right manner. Having a professional will makes it easier for any law firm to handle your assets following death and can prevent family disputes, issues within the family, as well as the overpaying of inheritance tax.

With a will, it will be easier for your personal possessions to be divided once you have died and ensure that your needs will be met.

Even a simple will can provide a range of benefits, and this is something we can help with. Working with professional will writing services like those offered by our brand, as well as many others, including the Co Op Legal Services, can help with many factors in Rotherham, including:

• You have dependent children

One of the most important reasons for hiring a will writer is to protect your children. With a will, you can not only continue to provide for your children following death but also nominate a legal guardian for those who are under 18.

Your will covers more than your personal possessions, and it is a parental responsibility to ensure that your children will be taken care of even when you are no longer with them. A will can offer the same protection to your children in the form of a guardian as it would your personal possessions following death.

If you die without a will, there will be no one with parental responsibility for your children in Rotherham, which means it will be up to the court to decide who should look after your children. This may result in something you do not want, which is why you should take some of your own time now to finalise your wishes and get them filed legally to protect your children.

• You are not married to your partner

If you are not married or in a civil partnership with your partner, then you should not expect anything to go to them following death unless you have made a will. If you are not a civil partner or married to the person you love, then this can cause a lot of issues should you die without a will.

Without the legal binding that comes from marriage or a civil partnership, it will be difficult for your partner to continue their life following your death. Even a basic will can cover their needs and ensure they get to remain inside your shared home without being a civil partner or married to you at the time.

Unless there is this legal binding in the form of marriage or a registered civil partnership, you need to have a will that indicates your wishes for your partner to protect them during this time. You should both have separate wills that indicate your wishes for each other if you are not a civil partner or married, or you can also have the same will, which is known as mirror wills to ensure all your needs are covered.

• You are worried about inheritance tax

If your Rotherham estate is worth more than £325,000, it is likely going to be hit heavily with inheritance tax following your death. An IHT bill can be avoided by writing a will or updating your existing will to meet your current needs, ensuring that your personal assets can be handed on in full to your loved ones.

Working with our professional writing services can help you get around having to pay inheritance tax on your possessions, as we understand the exemptions that are available to all. For example, leaving everything that is above the threshold of £325,000 to your spouse or civil partner can avoid IHT and is something to consider if you do not want to pay this tax.

• Your personal circumstances have changed

Change is the only constant in life, which can make will writing difficult. However, working with a professional will writing service like the one we offer is a way to keep up with these ever-changing circumstances and ensure that your will reflects the circumstances of your life at the time of death.

For example, we will help you write a new will or update an existing will whenever you marry, divorce, or have children to ensure the right people are entitled to your possessions and care following death.

In England and Wales, your existing will is automatically revoked or cancelled when you get married. This does not apply to people in Scotland. To prevent former partners or civil partners from getting access to your assets following death, then you will need to write a will.

• You have specific funeral wishes

If you know what you want your funeral to be like and who you want to be there, then having a will is a way to ensure this will happen following your death. With a will in place, you can leave specific instructions for your family in Rotherham so they do not have to make any decisions following your death.

This can be helpful as they may not have the mental capacity to deal with these things once you have died, but you can get your wishes by leaving them in the will.

• You have property overseas or own property with someone else

If you own your property on a joint tenancy basis, your ownership will automatically go to the other person when you die. This is part of the survivorship rules that are present in England and Wales.

However, if you own property on a ‘tenants in common basis’ then the intestacy rules will apply unless you have left specifications in your will and this is witnessed correctly. It is important to note that if you own overseas property, the rules may differ from those in England and Wales, which is why it is best to finalise your wishes in a will.

Where to get a will made?

Now that you understand the importance of having a will made, it is time to consider your options. We are professional will writers that can offer a range of services, including the writing of simple wills to ongoing professional advice to help you during this process.

How to get a will made?

There are various steps involved in getting a will made, and while we can do a lot of the work for you, it is a good idea for you to understand the steps involved before paying for any service so you can determine what kind of help you need at this time.

Before you can make a will, there are some things you need to do first. These are things you should do before hiring our will writing services in Rotherham, although we can help with these too. Before writing a will, you need to determine:

• What type of will you want to make
• Who do you want to inherit from you following death
• Who you would like to look after your children (if they are under 18 or you are dealing with a disabled family member)
• If you want to leave anything to a particular charity, which includes the registered charity number
• Who you would like to leave your estate to

Once you have determined these factors, it is time to start working on making your will.

The steps that are required to make a will are as follows:

1) Value Your Estate

Before you can make a will, you first need to determine what you own and how much you have. This can determine the type of will you need to make. You will need to have a list of assets that will be included in your will, which can be:

• your home and any other property you own
• savings in bank accounts and building society accounts
• National savings, for example, premium bonds
• insurance, such as life insurance or endowment policies
• pension funds, including any lump, sums to be paid after death
• investments, such as stocks, shares, or investment trusts
• motor vehicles
• jewellery, antiques, and other personal belongings
• household contents

As well as these, you also need to include debts as these are also referred to as assets in a will.

2) Decide how you want to divide these assets

Who will get what when you die is the main purpose of a will, and this is the most important step to do when it comes to writing one. This is something we can help with when you use our writing service, but ultimately the decision is yours when it comes to your estate and assets.

In this part of the process, you will need to think about who you want to benefit from your estate as well as the needs of your family, which need to be outlined in the will.

3) Determine any charity donations

A lot of people like to include a charitable donation of some kind in their will, and this is something you can determine now or at a later date.

4) Choose your executors

A single will requires at least one executor, and this is the person who will handle everything after you have died. This is a big role and one that requires a lot of responsibility, so it is something you should consider carefully.

5) Write your will

This is where paying for a will writing service can come in very useful, and we are highly experienced at what we do. As a leading will writing company in Rotherham, we can help create a simple will or something more complex based on your needs and will ensure that everything you desire is covered in one document.

Our registered company number is accessible across the country, including with an online service. We can help you get your will done and ensure that all of your needs are met during this time to support your family during their bereavement following your death.

What is the Cost of getting a will made?

The cost of making a will can vary based on the method you choose and the kind of service you use. As a leading will writing company, we aim to offer the best prices for all our services and have helped people across the nation in this particular area.

We can provide free quotes and free will drafting services to help you make your decision. If you are interested in learning more about the costs of our services, please get in touch with the team today.

Legal will vs online will

We offer both in-person and online will writing services. Online will writing services are accessible at all times and are available on bank holidays as well.

Regardless of the kind of service you choose, when signing the will you need two witnesses over the age of 18. If you are in Scotland, then you need one witness over the age of 16 for this part of the process.

The Benefits Of Getting A Legal Will Written

• Providing financial security for loved ones
• Making gifts of possessions and money
• Paying less inheritance tax
• Appointing guardians for your children
• Choosing your executors
• Avoiding inheritance disputes
• Creating a life interest
• Specifying wishes for your funeral

What happens if I die without making a will?

If you die without making a will, it can be difficult for your family to handle your assets in Rotherham. Various consequences can come with not making a will before you die, based on your estate, your family, and these requirements.

For example, failure to make a will when you are not married or in a civil partnership could be disastrous for your partner, who may lose their home with you as they are not considered to be legally responsible for this. A will can also determine who has legal guardianship over your children or those in your care, which is something you need to consider.

It is always a good idea to have some form of a will written in preparation for when you die to ensure that your family is taken care of.

What exactly is a will?

According to the Co-Op legal services, a will is a document that allows you to determine what will happen to your assets and estate following death.

What Can you Include in a Will?

Everything you own can be included in a will, including:

• Household items, antiques, and other physical items you own
• Parental guardianship of children under the age of 18

There is a range of things that are included in your Rotherham estate, which we have already mentioned. We can help ensure that everything is included in your will.

What types of gifts can I include in my will?

There are various ways that you can divide your estate in your will, such as:

• A pecuniary bequest (a fixed sum to a specific person)
• A specific bequest (for a specific item)
• A residuary bequest (a percentage of your estate)

Can an executor of a will also be a beneficiary?

It is possible for the executor of your will to also be a beneficiary of your estate.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a house?

It is a good idea to write a will regardless of what you own because there is more than just property ownership covered.

What if I don’t have anything to leave?

We all leave something behind when we die, even if it is a small selection of personal belongings which need to be organised by our family.

However, even if you do not have a lot and do not think that writing a will is worth it, you may have money or assets by the time you die, which can be assigned to other people through this legal document.

Can a will help protect my home against potential care home fees?

A trust will is what you need for this, and it protects your home or savings against future care home fees.

Making a will and mental capacity

To make a will, you have to understand what you are doing, which is to prove mental capacity. This is something you have to prove at the time that your will is written, as well as at the time it is signed by two witnesses.

Four things are required to prove this:

• you must understand the purpose of the will (which is the handling of your estate when you die)
• you must understand what is in your estate (which can be a general awareness)
• you must understand that people can make a moral claim on your estate, even if they are not a beneficiary
• you must not be suffering from what is legally known as a ‘disorder of the mind.’

Our will writing service makes the process easy

Making a will can be quick and easy if you use a will writing service. Working with us will ensure that you are getting access to the right guidance and support.

Our will writing service in Rotherham will provide you with a specialist to help you complete each step of the process, and we will work with you from start to finish. Our will writing advisors can discuss your wishes, offer recommendations and help you to make a will that is right for you and your circumstances, no matter what these may be.

We are an authorised company number and are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), so you have peace of mind that your will is written in a way that is recognised by the law.

Where should I store my will?

Your will is stored in a safe place that can be accessed by executors when you die. We can keep hold of your orignal document as well as any other documents you require as part of your writing services.

Can my will be challenged?

All wills can be challenged, but when it is professionally drafted and backed by legal professionals like those in our team, it can prevent this from being a successful claim.

What does undue influence mean in will writing?

This is when someone has been influenced or forced to write their will by another person, and can affect the legality of the document.

Not all wills are regulated – Be Careful

While there are many services similar to ours in Rotherham, not all of them are of the same quality. We are a regulated and secure will writing service that can provide legal documents for your needs.

FAQ’s

Do debts die with you.

No, as debts will be included in your estate.

Can I leave a will If I become incapacitated?

You can include guidance in your will to help if you become incapacitated, which will be used by solicitors.

Can I Write My Own Will?

Yes, you can write your own will, but it is always worth getting this checked by a solicitor to ensure this is legally binding.

Is it possible to change somebody’s will after they have died?

You can make variations to a will based on specific regulations, as outlined by the government.

Why You Need A Will?

Having a will is increasingly important in these troubled times. arguing over the estate of a loved one breaks up a number of families every year. if you die without making a will:.

• Your partner may not be able to inherit your property and possessions
• If you have intended a gift for your friend or grandchild it won’t reach them.
• If you are unmarried, your partner will not receive anything
• If you have children, particularly stepchildren, guardianship of the children would become unclear. A court will decide their future, and who looks after them.

We know that making a Will is never a particularly enjoyable experience, but whether you have £500 or £5,000,000 it is important to clarify what you want to happen with your hard earned money on your death. Making a Will is always important, but particularly so when;

• You and your partner are not married, as otherwise your partner would not be entitled to anything on your death
• You have children under the age of sixteen, as your Will can decide who you would wish to be their guardians
• Your estate exceeds £325,000, being the current threshold after which inheritance tax is paid.
• You DO NOT want a particularly member of your family to benefit on your death
• You and your partner have children from previous relationships, and you are keen to ensure that your children would benefit if you passed away before your partner
• You are concerned about care home fees and want to do all you can to avoid paying them
• You have specific wishes in relation to your funeral, but do not feel comfortable discussing these wishes with your family during your lifetime

If you don’t leave a Will, your estate will be distributed in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy. These rules are complicated and seem bizarre to many people, and very often do not give the result that would have been desired.  The cost of making a Will is low and could save much expense down the line in terms of tracing relatives and potential challenges to the distribution of a person’s estate. Don’t put it off any longer!

M C Will Writing Services will organise your Will and any other desired documentation and ensure these are correctly executed.

Our founder says, “During my 26 years working with high-net-worth customers for a well-respected high street bank, I was always surprised and concerned at how many people do not have Wills (over 55% of adults) or LPAs (only 1% have them) and are therefore leaving too much to chance at the time of their death or in the event of their mental incapacitation”.

We are grateful, therefore, to have the opportunity to play our part in helping to bring peace of mind and greater control to those seeking our support.

Will Writing Service Rotherham

Wills and estate planning rotherham.

Will Writing Service Rotherham South Yorkshire (S60): A will is basically the legal document that is used in shaping your desire of what you want to happen to your property and assets after your death. A will thus stands as the written and the legal record of your wishes. The necessities of a good will writing service in Rotherham are manifold. Let's first understand the concept that why will writing advices and will writing services are necessary.

So the million pound question is "do I need a will?" the answer is a simple 'YES' because without a well drawn will you will have no control on your assets and estates, and honestly you could be actually risking your family's future.

Without a will your spouse will not be able to inherit your property and possessions and in case if you are unmarried then your partner will not be able to receive anything because in such cases the law treats you both as unmarried. In the absence of a will the guardianship of your children would remain unclear and the court will decide their future and about who looks after them. Moreover, if you intended a gift for your friend or grandchild it will never reach them if you do not mention your wishes in the will.

In the UK will advice is not only offered to people who require will writing services but in fact it is offered to all of those who want to shield their possessions and assure that their assets go to their loved ones after their death.

A good will writers' service in Rotherham understands the significance of a written will and what it actually means to your life, hence offers you quality will writing advice so that you can avoid any family disputes and upheaval after you die.

A well drawn-up will is all about ensuring that your assets are distributed as per your wishes and professional will writing services in Rotherham are all about protecting your assets and your loved ones. And in life you need this protection.

Anyone in Rotherham who has ever gone through the process of handling someone's estate after death will understand the importance of using a professional will writing service when thinking about making their own will. For those people who luckily have never had to go through the probate process in the UK, it would be difficult to believe how fraught with complications it can be unless the deceased had the foresight, when living, to have their affairs put in order.

Because so many people don't want to think about death, will writing tends to be something that younger people don't progress until much later on in life. From the moment you get married or co-habit with someone or have children you should act responsibly by getting a professional in Rotherham to write up your will. You may not get run over by a bus tomorrow or be involved in a fatal car crash but the possibility is there for all of us and if you die without making a will the government will be in control of, and decide what happens to, your estate.

The benefits of employing a professional will writing service in Rotherham are immense. It primarily ensures that your will is correctly drawn up and in addition they may offer other services such as storing your will and issuing you with plastic cards to give to your beneficiaries, so that they are aware of where to find your will in the event of your death.

Sam was very well informed and more than able to provide all necessary advice. He was great to deal with and he provided us with a clear plan of action and much needed reassurance.

Frequently asked questions..

Answers to some of the most often asked questions.

Why is it important to make a Will?

Writing a Will is the best way to have a say over what happens when you die. This is incredibly important if you have children under 18, as it allows you to state who you want to be their legal guardian if anything happens to you. Without a Will, the courts could be left to decide who looks after them. Writing a Will also allows you to set out how you want to divide up your estate, including any property or accounts you own. You can make an inventory of your assets and choose exactly how much you want people to inherit, helping to prevent any family disputes when you’re gone.

What happens if you die without a Will?

On average, it costs families around £9,700 when their loved one dies without a Will. This is usually made up of assets they can’t find or don’t know exist. When you make a Will, you can make an inventory of your assets so your loved ones know exactly where to find everything. If you die before making a Will, any assets that can be found will be divided up following the rules of intestacy. These are a set of traditional laws that define exactly who gets what – but they may not follow exactly what you would want.

Do I need a solicitor to write a Will?

Many people assume they need to see a solicitor to write a Will. But if your requirements are fairly simple and straightforward, you could end up paying more than you need to.

What happens if you don't write a Will?

In the UK, there are over 30 million adults who haven’t written a Will. And while many are probably putting it off until later life, it’s inevitable that some people will die before they ever get the chance to make one. When someone dies without writing a Will, they are known as ‘intestate’. This is also the name given to people who have a poorly written Will that doesn’t cover the whole estate, or people who write a Will but don’t get it signed by witnesses to make it legally binding. In cases where the person who died didn’t make a Will, the rules of intestacy come into play. The rules of intestacy are a set of laws in England and Wales that define what happens to someone’s estate if they die without a valid Will.

What is the best type of Will for married couples?

For most married couples, a Joint Will is usually the best option. This allows each of you to write your own individual wishes without having to pay for two separate Wills. For more complex relationships, a Trust may be a better option.

What is a Joint Will?

A Joint Will is actually made up of two individual Wills – one for each person in the relationship. This gives you the freedom to either echo each other’s wishes or write your own, depending on what’s right for you.

What is a Mirror Will?

A Mirror Will is a pair of Wills for couples who want to mirror each other’s wishes. Most commonly, couples will choose to leave everything they own to their partner, then their children.

How to avoid Inheritance Tax?

You can avoid Inheritance Tax by leaving everything to your spouse or civil partner in your Will. Alternatively, you could reduce your Inheritance Tax bill by giving gifts while you're alive or leaving part of your estate to charity.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone to make decisions for you, or act on your behalf, if you're no longer able to or if you no longer want to make your own decisions. If you don't make an LPA, and later become unable to make certain decisions for yourself, there may be a time when no one can legally make decisions for you. This can make things difficult, such as paying bills or care costs, or making decisions about your future care.
