Many people are reluctant to think about making a Will, perhaps thinking they don’t have enough money or property to make it worthwhile, or simply putting it off until they are older. However, whatever your age or financial situation, you should consider making Will to ensure your loved ones are protected and provided for after you die.

Failure to think ahead at an early opportunity can, unfortunately, lead to problems for families and other dependents, particularly if you pass away suddenly and/or while you are young.

We help our clients put in place robust and appropriate Wills which match their wishes. We work with clients over the long term to review Wills regularly, particularly if there are any changes in their personal or financial circumstances – such as marriage, divorce or children.  

We prepare Wills which can help you:

• Choose exactly how your property and possessions will be shared between your loved ones
• Ensure that your partner or spouse is provided for
• Choose who should act as guardians for any children
• Provide for dependents
• Set out funeral wishes
• Prevent additional upset and confusion for your loved ones on your death and decide who you would like to wind up your affairs

Probate & Estate Administration

When a person dies, it usually falls to their closest relatives or friends to deal with the estate. Where the deceased leaves a valid Will, Executors will have been appointed to take on this task. Where there is no Will, a family member of the deceased will need to apply to become an Administrator.

Our range of services include:

• Obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
• Full administration of the deceased’s estate
• Calculation and payment of Inheritance Tax
• Trustee services

Our friendly and sensitive team of lawyers understand how upsetting this process is likely to be for you. As well as expert advice we provide practical support and we hope we can make this difficult time a little easier for you

Powers of Attorney

Powers of Attorney will allow you to appoint a named individual to act on your behalf if you do not have the capacity to make your own decisions at some point in the future, for example, due to old age or a brain illness such as dementia.

We advise on:

• Ordinary Powers of Attorney
• Enduring Powers of Attorney
• Lasting Powers of Attorney (Property and Financial Affairs)
• Lasting Powers of Attorney (Health and Welfare)

Powers of Attorney can only be made while you have the capacity to understand the documents and the implications of making them. If someone you know longer has capacity to make a Power of Attorney we can help to the Court of Protection to be appointed to act on their behalf.

We can advise Donors and Attorneys on any aspects of Powers of Attorney, including drafting the document, acting as certificate provider, acting as an Attorney, registering a Power of Attorney at the Office of Public Guardian, and revoking and amending a Power of Attorney.

Trusts are a way of protecting and preserving assets such as money, property, and personal belongings, for your loved ones either during your lifetime or after you pass away.

We can advise on all types of trust and their benefits, including:

• Ringfencing assets
• Providing for children under 18
• Providing for loved ones who lack mental capacity
• Passing money and property on with conditions
• Setting aside money for your care
• Reducing the value of your estate for the purposes of Inheritance Tax

We can also provide advice on any associated tax implications and procedural matters (such as trustees’ duties) so you can make an informed decision about whether trusts are right for you.

Why should I make a will?

If you were to pass without a will it could cause financial difficulties, the responsibility for legal fees and many other pressures that fall to your loved ones at the time of mourning. A will helps protect your assets and relieves the debilitating worry your family could face. What happens if I don’t have a will? It is not always easy to think about what can happen in the future. Assets can be frozen or lost to the state, and children can be disinherited if the surviving partner remarries. The majority of people believe that the spouse or partner will inherit the estate automatically when the deceased did not have a will in place. However, the way this happens does not suit everyone. There are often disputes over an estate between relatives.

What happens if i don't have a will in north-horsham.

The arguments and disagreements that follow can be heart-breaking at such a difficult time. Without a will, your assets will be divided according to the law, which may not meet your wishes. If you’re married with children, your spouse may not automatically inherit everything you own. Your spouse may benefit, but assets may also be distributed amongst your children. If you aren’t married to your partner, then they may not get an inheritance from you. Writing a will in North-Horsham can protect your assets from just about any eventuality.

Will writing doesn’t have to be an expensive, stuffy experience you put off until it’s too late!

Estate Planning Services in North-Horsham

Alongside our professional will-writing services, at Brighton Wills we are experts in providing a wide range of estate planning services. This includes everything from family trusts and probate forms, to prepaid funeral plans to make the difficult emotional time easier on your family.

We can provide you with a service enabling you to put in place Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA). If you have diminished mental capacity due to an illness, or because you have an accident, you may need a trusted person to have LPA and it will make it a lot easier if this is organised prior to the life changing event occurring.

Keeping your will safe It is crucial that your will is stored safely and is readily accessible so that you don’t die officially “intestate”, where no valid will was found to be used following your passing. When your will has been written, you need to keep it in a place that is safe and where your executors will be able to find it when the time comes. If your will is damaged or if your executors can’t find it after your death, then your wishes might not be followed and the people that you want to inherit your possessions and money might not do so. It might be a good idea to store your will with the probate service, a separate solicitor or with our own storage service for wills – we can advise you on the best option.

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 Horsham, 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 Horsham, 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 Horsham 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 Horsham 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.

We offer Co Op legal services in Horsham, including will writing services, to people across the nation to ensure that your possessions and assets will be protected after death. We have plenty of services that can help you during this time, as well as an online will writing service that can be easily accessed.

Working with our will writing services, in conjunction with Co Op Legal services, gives you access to everything you need during this time. We can provide a completely free quote and a draft of your will, based on your needs, and help you cover the solicitor cost during this time.

Following the writing of your will, we will securely store this document until it is required.

If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch with the team today. We can arrange a telephone or video call with you to discuss your needs and see what we can do for you at this time.

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 Horsham, 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 Horsham, 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.

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 Horsham. 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 Horsham 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 Horsham 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 Horsham, 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.

Will Writing Service in Horsham

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 Horsham 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 Horsham 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 Horsham

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 Horsham

Our Horsham 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 Horsham 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 Horsham. 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 Horsham. 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 Horsham 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 Horsham 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 Horsham 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 Horsham. 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 Horsham 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 Horsham. 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 Horsham? 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.

How Did You Pick The Best Will Trust & Probate Solicitors in Horsham?

We started with a dataset of 2 listed Horsham solicitors and will writing services we could find via Google Maps.

From there, we removed any listing that did not meet the following criteria.

• Had no website
• Had no reviews
• Had an average review score below 4.0

At this point if we had 17 or fewer listings we listed all of them.

For cities where we were left with more than 17 solicitors we made further revisions by either increasing the required review score (e.g. going from a minimum of 4.0 to 4.9) and/or increasing the minimum number of required reviews (e.g. going from at least 1 review to at least 10).

In our view a solicitor which has 100 5* star reviews is likely more accurate than one which only has a single 5* review.

Note we only used review data from Google Maps and not any other third-party websites.

You are never too young to make your will., project description, will writing surrey, sussex and kent.

Your Will is one of the most important documents that you will ever make, it gives direction to what happens when you die. Without a Will you are subject to something called the Laws of Intestacy, where the government have laid down who will inherit what you owe, most of us wouldn’t want that to happen.

Even if you’ve only got life insurance or a pension scheme at work you need to make a Will. If you have children, making a Will is really, really important. Making a Will is the only way you can appoint guardians for your children if something happed to you and your partner. You need to consider what should go into the document, broadly speaking this includes your executors details and who the beneficiaries will be, a list of what assets you own and how you want to give them away and your funeral wishes and directions.

If you’re married, making a Will is critical because it’s the only way you can inherit from your partner if something happened to them. When you’re getting married is a good time to make a Will, or if you’re buying a property, this is also a good time to make a Will. Many people do not consider the tax implications and the risks to their property, shares and money that inheritance tax can pose. Making your will in the right way will make sure all tax relief options have been utilised effectively. Most couples will make Mirror Wills, so called because the two documents mirror each other’s intentions.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

We have worked with hundreds of clients across many different areas of the law. here are just a few things that our clients say about us:.

Our circumstances were complex – or so we thought, no children and no family to speak of. Nick worked with us to identify the best options for our estate and recommended setting up a charitable trust, we can now be certain that our estate will benefit all of the causes that we support after our deaths.

Our experience of Will and Probate Services has been excellent, they are knowledgeable and always happy to help. They are definitely specialists in Wills and planning for later life. But the best thing about them is that they are much cheaper than the local solicitors and offer a better service.

Mum’s health hadn’t been so good and she was becoming frail and confused. Because I live out of the country I needed help and advice from someone I, and more importantly Mum, could trust. Nick and his team have been great they set up lasting powers of attorney for her so that we can look after her home, her bills and her care.

Lasting Powers of Attorney from £125

The Future is unpredictable and no one likes to think that at some stage in their lives they will not be able to make their own decisions or need help carrying out day to day activities but unfortunately this is very common, it could be through old age, illness or injury. 

Lasting Powers of Attorney are legal documents that authorise people you trust to make decisions on your behalf, this could be because you can no longer make decisions yourself or it may just mean you want a family member to act on your behalf to deal with certain matters such as dealing with your bills or your banking.

A lasting power of attorney is an essential part of estate planning and must be made while you still able to make your own decisions, it can be created to take effect either immediately or when you have lost mental capacity depending on your preferences.

If you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place and you lose mental capacity, have a stroke, an accident or an extended stay in hospital then no one can automatically step in to make decisions for you. 

If this was to happen your loved ones would need to apply to the court of protection to act on your behalf which may mean that while the court process is reviewing your situation there is no one that can undertake your day to day financial responsibilities or to make decisions regarding your health and welfare.

There are 2 types of Lasting Powers of Attorney that you may need:

Property and Finance Lasting Power of Attorney: 

This covers decisions relating to:

· Buying and selling any property you own.

· Operating bank accounts.

· Paying bills.

· Claiming benefits or pensions.

· Making and filing tax returns

· Managing household expenses

· Managing care and medical costs.

· Making gifts on your behalf (charities)

· Tax planning

Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney

This allows your Attorney to make decisions on your behalf such as:

· Deciding on appropriate care .

· Deciding on your permanent place of residence.

· Consenting to or Refusing medical treatment for your benefit

· Choosing your social activities

· Deciding on the level of care you may need.

· Making decisions about diet and personal appearance.

If you don’t already have a Power of Attorney in place we can help you prepare for every possibility please call us on 01403 432866 or email [email protected] . Our prices start at £125 per Lasting Power of Attorney.

Raine Financial Ltd offer expert Estate Planning Advice in and around the Horsham area. We will make sure that your affairs are in order so that you have peace of mind and your family do not have to worry about dealing with your estate, 

Why Do Need A Will ?

No matter how old you are or how much money you have, it is essential to have a Valid Legal Will in place as it will take away the added stress and emotional upset from your loved ones and give them peace of mind by knowing that everything is being done as you would have wished, without a valid Will the state decides how your estate is divided which may mean that family members do not receive the gifts that you intended for them , if you are married this may mean your spouse only receives part of your estate and if you have a partner but are not married they may not be entitled to any of your estate which by law will be passed to blood relatives in a predetermined order.

Everyone should have a Will in place to protect their loved ones, it is also essential to create or update your Will if your circumstances have or are changing such as getting divorced, getting married, buying a property or if you own a property jointly with your partner but are not married. 

Having A Valid Will Allows You To:

Avoid Family Disputes – Having a Will that details your final wishes is important to help avoid uncertainty in the distribution of your estate which could cause conflict between beneficiaries who feel they are entitled to certain assets.

Appoint Executors – This ensures that your estate is dealt with by people you know and trust and not just representatives appointed by the Court.

Appoint Guardians – If you have children under the age of 18 it is essential to appoint guardians to look after them, this ensures that their wellbeing is entrusted to someone you trust and your children know and are comfortable with, If you do not have a Will it will be down to the Courts to decide who will look after them.

Appoint Trustees – Where you are using Trusts to ring fence certain assets for a specific purpose such as to provide financial support for children or vulnerable family members. 

Make Charitable Donations – to help support an organisation that is dear to you.

Leave Specific Gifts – this could be cash, jewellry or family heirlooms that you would like to leave to a specific person, without a Will this cannot be done. 

Mitigate Inheritance Tax – Having a comprehensive Will allows you to plan for Inheritance tax and ensures your beneficiaries inheritance is maximised.

Express Funeral Wishes – if you have specific plans for your own funeral then these can be detailed to enable your executors to carry out your final wishes.

Provide Financial Protection – A professionally drafted Will gives you peace of mind knowing that you’re Partner, children, pets and other dependants are taken care of when you are gone.

Additional Services to Consider In Your Will & Estate Plan

 In addition to our Will Writing Services we  also provide the following to ensure that your Family are protected when you are gone;

Lasting Powers Of Attorney – A lasting Power of Attorney is an essential legal document when planning your estate and can’t be left until the last minute. There are 2 Lasting Powers of Attorney that you will need one is for Property & Finance which allows your appointee to make financial decisions for you including collecting benefits, paying bills and arranging housing The 2nd one covers  Health & Welfare which allows those you appoint to make decisions regarding your daily routine, medical treatment, care and life sustaining treatment. It is IMPORTANT to note that a Lasting Power of Attorney needs to be made while you still have mental capacity BUT it only comes into effect when you lose mental capacity. This does mean it may never be needed but it is crucial to have in place to ensure that you or your partner do not lose the ability to access your finances or make medical decisions on loss of capacity through Dementia, Alzheimer’s accident or other illnesses. By the end of 2024 it is expected that over 1 million people in the UK will be suffering with Dementia alone.

Advanced Decisions/Living Wills – these give you the option to choose under what circumstances you would like to continue to have life sustaining treatment and when you would not.

Trusts – Trusts are a legal mechanism that will ring fence certain Assets for a specific purpose. Some common uses for trusts are to preserve your children’s inheritance should your surviving spouse remarry or if they need to go into long term care. 

Property Protection Trust – Allows you to place your share of your home into a trust for your children whilst giving your spouse the right to remain living in the property until their death. This allows your share of the property to pass to your children upon 2nd death regardless of whether your spouse has remarried. As the beneficiary of the property would be your children and not your spouse it means that should your spouse need to go into care the local authority cannot force the sale of the property or include your children’s share in their assessment for paying care home fees. This doesn’t mean the fees will not have to be paid but it ensures your children’s inheritance is not used to pay them. This type of trust can be included in your Will and will come into effect on your death.

Lifetime Trusts – are established while you are alive, they take effect immediately and may incur Inheritance Tax on any assets above the Nil Rate Band allowance of £325,000 should you pass away within 7 years of making the gift into the trust. 

We Offer Expert Advice on Writing Wills and Planning Your Estate to ensure your loved ones are protected and their inheritance is maximised. We have made our Will Drafting process as straightforward as possible and can review or update your Will in line with any changes in your personal circumstances.
