Professional Will Writing Service

When you create a Will, you can allocate and distribute your assets legally. It will help you safeguard the finances that you want to leave for your family, and you can have peace of mind knowing that your finances are in safe hands. Your children can also benefit from your financial arrangements. At Paradigm Wills & Legal Services in Leicester and London, we provide professional help to write a Will. With our advanced legal advice, the tax payable for property inheritance can be reduced.

Having a Will is arguably one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. Not only can a Will legally protect your spouse, children, and assets, it can also spell out exactly how you would like things handled after you have passed away.

If you do not have a Will, you have no say over what happens to your assets when you die, and this can cause difficulties for those you care about most.

 

Because of this, everyone should have a Will; this is particularly true if you own property, are married, have entered a civil partnership, or have a long-term partner. It also applies if you have children or other dependants, and especially if you have children from different relationships.

 

It is a common belief that, if you are married or in a civil partnership, your spouse or civil partner will automatically inherit everything you own when you die. In fact, they don’t, the law sets out rules that determine how your assets are to be divided if you should die without making a Will which means your spouse may not inherit automatically and children could also lose out on their inheritance if the Will is not structured properly.

 

Equally, the rules make no provision for a partner if you are not married or in a civil partnership, so the only way you can make sure you look after each other is by way of a Will.

Not only can a Will legally protect your spouse, children, and assets, but it can also spell out exactly how you would like things handled after you have passed away.
