Making a Will with YourWill from Richard Nelson Online

Everyone should make a will, no matter how little they think they have to leave and no matter how simple they think their estate is.

By making a Will, you are simply ensuring that your final wishes are legally recognised. More importantly though, writing your last will and testament gives you the certainty and peace of mind that comes from knowing that your property and possessions (know as your estate) will be passed on exactly as you want on your death.

So why do so many people put off making a will? Among the reasons we have heard have been:

    • “I am just too busy to visit a solicitor”;
    • “I don’t like to think about dying;”
    • “I find it hard to get out of the house to see a solicitor”;
    • “My child-care commitments stop me from getting to a solicitor”;
    • “I am worried about the cost”;
    • “I haven’t really got anything worth leaving”;
    • “I am not really sure what a will does”;
    • “I am not sure who to leave things to”;

By making your Will through Richard Nelson Online most of these problems cease to exist. Subject to your circumstances, you may be able to make your will completely online – without needing to leave home – and with the security of knowing not only that your Will has been checked over by a solicitor but that if you don’t know what to do, or a problem arises to which you need an answer, you can pay for just the right amount of legal advice to deal with it.

Alternatively, if your personal circumstances are more complicated – for example you own a business or you will have inheritance tax liabilities to minimise – the you can talk to one of our experienced lawyers who will be able to take you through what you need to do, take instructions from you to prepare a Will and then, when everything is sorted out, either send the Will to you for signing or arrange for you to call at one of our offices to sign.

What’s more, we think you will be pleasantly surprised by the cost!

Making a Will is especially important if :

    • You are not married or not in a civil partnership – you may find that your partner is not entitled to your estate at all or that they are placed in a position of having to make a potentially expensive claim on your estate;
    • You have young children - unless you make provision for the children then you might find that they are not looked after in the way that you would hope if you and or your partner should die;
    • You have a medium to large estate - without appropriate steps to reduce the burden of inheritance tax you may find that your dependants are left without sufficient money to live and may be forced to sell the family home;
    • You want to make sure that your estate – or any part of it – is left to a particular person. This can be the case, even where you want to leave everything to your spouse or civil partner who, without a will, will only receive a proportion of your estate.
