The Secrets Your Existing Will Hides Until Your Death
Many families are surprised by the events that occur after a loved one has died. Their shock is often not in respect of the person’s death [as sad as that might be], but at the way the family react subsequently.
Many of the family problems can be overcome where the deceased made an effective will. But many existing wills are defective; the defect will only come to light after the testator’s death unless action is taken in the interim.
Failings include:
An illegal will: i.e. The document was not made in accordance with the Wills Act 1837.
No professional defence: A professional will drafter should keep records of the meetings they had with their clients. These notes should show the client’s state of mind, who else was present when the instructions were being given, and more. These notes can then be used as evidence to defend the testator’s estate from attack by disgruntled beneficiaries who stand to gain by having the will declared invalid.
If you made your will using an an online will-
Out of date: Out of date because the testator’s circumstances have changed, or their
family’s circumstances have, or the taxation rules have changed -
Errors in drafting: Has your will ever been checked by someone other than your original
will-writer? Very few have. A surprisingly high number of wills contain errors or
omissions that will cost the testator’s estate substantial fees in the future. Or
even worse ... Render the will invalid!
Unnecessary Appointments: These clauses line the pockets of your solicitor’s wallet at the expense of your beneficiaries, by appointing the solicitor [often unnecessarily] as your executor or reserve executor. This role can often be undertaken by a member of your family who will do the task quicker and for a fraction of the cost.
Whichever failing a will has the outcome is often the same: Avoidable future expense and hassle. ‘Avoidable’ because if action is taken now the costs and extra inconvenience can all be avoided.
Save Money. Save Time. Enjoy Peace of Mind
We offer a solution: Our ‘Will Check service’.
The Will-
The ‘will-
If the results come back OK then you have renewed confidence in your will.
However ...
The check often finds flaws in a will. Some of them are serious errors or omissions.
The check can save an estate £1000’s in future fees - often highlighting substantial
savings in what would be an otherwise perfectly valid will. (e.g. Probate fees)
Without this check you may remain blissfully unaware that your will may incur substantial
costs in the future; in effect it could be a ‘blank cheque to a solicitor’ -
By undertaking the check and assuming our report is clear, you can enjoy renewed confidence in your existing will without incurring the cost of creating a new will. Or, where we do identify shortcomings, take action now to correct them while you are able.
Incidentally, you do not have to use our will-
For the avoidance of doubt: Our report will highlight errors, omissions, and potential cost savings. It does not provide the solutions to correct the shortcomings so identified.
