Why making a Will is so important
Without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy. This means:
- You may not have control over who inherits your assets
- Unmarried partners may receive nothing
- Family disputes can become more likely
- The process can be longer and more stressful for your loved ones
A professionally written Will ensures your wishes are followed and your family is protected.

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?
There is no legal requirement to have a Will in place, however it is advisable to put one in place. This is the only way to ensure that your loved ones will benefit from your hard work and assets you have built up in your lifetime.
Why Make 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?
In short No. By all means you can see a solicitor to write your Will however this may cost more than a Will writing professional.
What happens if I change my mind after I have made my Will?
This is no problem at all. It is very important to ensure your Will reflects your current wishes. If you need to make any amendments then please get in touch with the team at AHJ Wills & Estates.
How much does it cost to have a Will written?
This all depends upon the complexity of the Will. We can provide Wills from a little as £120.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a document in which you would provide an individual or individuals legal authority to manage your affairs should you lose mental capacity.
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.
