Will making solicitors

Will making solicitors: Expert legal advice

Why do I need a will?

Your will is a set of clear instructions for what you want to happen after you die. After your death, your will is used to distribute your assets according to your wishes. wills also provide clear direction for family and friends at a difficult time. When someone dies there’s a lot of practical steps to take, and a lot to sort out and your will can really help take some of the pressure off. For example, you can tell your loved ones what you want to happen to your body and any requests for your funeral - so they are not left worry about what to do for the best.

What happens if I don't make a will?

If you’re married, your spouse might not receive everything you want them to have
If you’re unmarried, your partner might not receive anything at all – even if you’ve been together a long time
Your loved ones may need to involve solicitors to sort out your estate - often a long, expensive process.

Benefits of getting a solicitor to draft your will

Peace of mind - in a nutshell. It provides certainty and a proper plan for what you want to happen after your death. To be totally sure, a will should be written and checked by a legal professional. This is because any mistake, however small, could result in your will being challenged. At Tees, a solicitor will thoroughly check your will and raise any concerns so points can be clarified and re-drafted if necessary. Online wills or 'DIY wills' don't offer the same level of protection. Tees is strictly regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and our service also includes insurance; online wills and 'DIY wills' are not bound by these regulations.
