A Will is a legal statement of how you wish to pass on your belongings (known as estate) on your death to beneficiaries.

Generally speaking, anyone over the age of 18 and of sound mind.

1. It must be in writing.
2. It must be signed by the person making the Will, the testator (or signed on the testator’s behalf in his or her presence and by his or her direction).
3. The signing must be done in the presence of two independent witnesses who must not benefit under the terms of the Will, who then sign the Will in the presence of the testator.

It is disregarded and the deceased person’s property is distributed in accordance with the Intestacy Rules.

If you don’t leave a valid Will, when you die your estate will pass in accordance with the Intestacy Rules.

By making a Will, you receive piece of mind with the following benefits:

• You can choose someone you trust to administer your estate
• You can appoint guardians for young children
• You can leave gifts to friends, family or charities
• You can attach conditions to a gift in your will or create a trust
• You decide the age a child may inherit
• You can plan for Inheritance Tax
• It can help avoid family arguments
• You can make your funeral wishes clear

Yes. It is a good idea to review your Will every three years or so to ensure that it continues to reflect your wishes, taking into account any change in circumstances such as marriage, civil partnership, divorce, dependants, and finances.

Yes, this is known as revoking your Will. Making another Will cancels all previous Wills. You may also revoke your Will by destroying it.

Our Solicitors can advise you on the best way to draw up your Will so that it properly reflects what you want, ensuring that it is valid. We can help you with inheritance tax planning as well as setting up trusts. If you do it yourself and make a mistake, it can be costly and distressing for your loved ones.

As your Will may not be required for many years after your death, it is therefore important that it is stored in a safe place and can be found after your death. At The Specter Partnership, we offer free storage in our fire-proof safe. We would recommend that a copy of your will is kept with your personal papers and the original Will is retained by ourselves to give you peace of mind. It is also important that you let your executors know where your Will is kept.
