Now is always the right time to make a Will

A Will is our only opportunity to ensure we leave to our loved ones the gifts and possessions we would want them to have. But it’s surprising how many people put off this important decision.

When we are young, we don’t feel the need. When we are older, life is usually more complicated. Perhaps we don’t want to tempt fate.

At Tayntons, we understand the sensitivities of preparing a Will, at whatever age you decide. So our specialist advisers will guide you through the process. They will also explain the implications of not preparing a Will.

Drafting and writing your Will

This is obviously a very personal matter, so you will receive very personal help. The same solicitor will work with you at every stage, meeting with you initially to discuss your wishes, then preparing a draft, then completing and registering it once you have given your approval.

Keeping your Will up to date

It is important to update your Will to reflect any changes in your wishes, or in your personal circumstances. This can include getting married. Or deciding to live with a partner. Having children. Separation or divorce. Starting or buying into a business. Even inheriting something yourself.

Intestacy

In circumstances where there is no Will, the estate is divided in accordance with the Law of Intestacy. This may mean that your personal wishes will not be known or honoured. It will also place an added and unnecessary burden on your loved ones.

The cost of making a Will

We charge set fees for drafting and completing straightforward Wills. For more complex Wills we will provide you with an estimate beforehand. This means you will always know the total cost before you start the process.

Free advice and archiving

We are happy to answer any initial questions you might have free of charge. Once we have completed a Will on your behalf, we are also happy to keep the original safe for you.

National register of Wills

Tayntons LLP is a member of Certainty, a national registry of Wills. This enables beneficiaries to search easily online, either to locate a missing Will or ensure they have the latest version. We will register your Will with Certainty, free of charge.
