Will Writing Solicitors

Some 70% of people die without a will. The rules of intestacy which apply can lead to unexpected results and unnecessary distress for the family. As well as ensuring that your estate passes to those to whom you intend, we can help to save thousands of pounds with some simple ideas which can be included in a will.

Do I need to make a will?

Making a will can be an uncomfortable and complicated process, which can be off putting. But with more complex family structures, and more people choosing to live together rather than marry, making sure that your assets go to the people you want, doesn’t always happen if you haven’t made a will. For instance, if you are a cohabiting couple, and one of you dies without a will, your partner does not necessarily inherit your assets.

Our Will writing solicitors will talk you through what you need to do, explaining the process and help you to make a will that covers all your needs.

Here are 10 reasons to make a will

To make life easier for your loved ones
To enable you to choose who will inherit your assets and on what terms
To appoint guardians for your children and make financial provision for their upkeep and education
To ensure that your partner doesn’t suffer any unnecessary financial hardship
To arrange a fair split of assets between your family and your spouse’s family if you both die at the same time
To make provision for your children from a previous relationship at the same time as providing for your new spouse or partner
To protect your assets if your chosen beneficiaries are vulnerable, or could face bankruptcy or divorce, or may need to pay for long term care
To ensure that you don’t have to pay any more Inheritance Tax than you have to
To put steps in place for your business to run smoothly after you have died
To express your wishes in respect to funeral arrangements

I recently worked with Lucy Madley on the purchase of my flat, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. She was extremely supportive throughout the entire process and always took the time to explain each step clearly. Lucy’s professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence that everything was being handled correctly. She managed all communications with the seller and their solicitor in a timely and pragmatic manner, which helped the transaction move smoothly and without unnecessary delays. I’m truly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor for their property purchase.

I can’t recommend Jane and the team at Neves Solicitors highly enough. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish — professional, efficient, and always approachable. Everything was explained clearly, the process was handled seamlessly, and I felt completely supported throughout. I’m so grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

We went to Mark Stevens to update our wills to reflect some changes in our circumstances. The whole experience was excellent, from booking the initial consultation, through the administrative requirements, the consultation itself and the processing of the final documentation. Mark took us through all the changes we wanted to make, discussed the implications of the changes, explained any concerns we had, and, throughout it all, he was unhurried and completely focused on us and our requirements. Following up from that meeting, we received the draft wills to confirm, attended the office to sign them and then today received our copies of the final wills. We would wholeheartedly recommend Mark and the firm for a very well-rounded experience!

We used Neves for very recent house sale, our solicitor was Trevor and he was fantastic! Always exceedingly prompt to respond to ours, the estate agent and the vendors solicitor enquiries and requests. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him. No affiliation just a very happy client.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish We recently completed the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Trevor and the Neeves team. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and they always took the time to answer our questions and ensure we felt confident in decisions. Their attention to detail and calm, proactive approach helped the whole transaction run smoothly—even when challenges came up. We felt that my best interests were being looked after, and their communication throughout was excellent. We are truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor for property transactions. Thank you for making what can often be a stressful process so straightforward and positive!
