Wills
There are many compelling and sensible reasons to make a will, and for most people the cost is affordable.
At Darlingtons, we provide practical and affordable wills advice, with most wills (not involving Trusts or Inheritance tax planning) costing less than £200.00 plus vat, providing peace of mind that a “DIY” will service simply cannot.
To make a will is to protect and safeguard those you love most, so please contact our wills and probate department today, and we can help immediately with a quote and guidance.
We hope the information below is useful for you, it is not intended for legal advice about making a will but as general information only
What are the benefits of making a will ?
A Will provides certainty and guides those who are left behind and saves worry and heartache at a time of great emotional stress. Other benefits include:
- Preparation, review and amendment of wills
- Choosing who inherits your assets and make specific gifts of items you want specified people to have
- Avoiding the situation where you don’t leave a will (known as Intestacy) whereby government rules determines who benefits
- Minimising or avoiding Inheritance tax
- Reduce financial problems for beneficiaries
- Choose Legal Guardians for your children
- Choose your own executors.
- Set up trusts for children/grandchildren which can be flexible and allow money to be used for their benefit before they finally become fully entitled
- Make charity donations
- Make your own funeral arrangements and decide whether you want burial or cremation
- Avoiding family disputes
