Probate Solicitors in St Helens, Widnes and Runcorn

Planning for the future can seem like a daunting task, especially when it involves dealing with matters in the event of your death. Sadly, a large proportion of adults still do not have a Will and instead put it off until it is too late.

However, making a Will is vital if you want to protect your assets and take care of your family and loved ones. Life is uncertain, and it is those uncertainties that we should plan for. Don’t be tempted to put it off just because it is uncomfortable or raises complicated questions.

Reasons to have a Will
Having a Will is arguably one of the most important things that you can do for your family. There are many reasons why you should have one:

  •  First and foremost, for peace of mind.
  •  To legally protect your spouse, children and assets.
  • To define exactly how you would like matters to be handled after you have passed on.
  • To be able to choose your own executors.
  • To make a difficult and emotional time more manageable. Losing
    someone can be an incredibly hard time. Knowing what their wishes are removes any speculation.
  • Having a legally sound Will in place can help to keep matters as simple as possible.

The Benefits of Seeking Legal Advice

The value that comes with working with an expert is evident both in time saved and in the peace of mind that comes with such a high quality service. But there are many more reasons to use an expert for your Will:

    • You can be confident that there are no mistakes. Inexperience can result in a number of common mistakes, such as using the wrong witness or forgetting to have a crucial point signed. When working with our wills and probate solicitors, you can be confident that an experienced and qualified solicitor will be working with your will to ensure that it is utterly airtight.
    • The complicated areas are all taken care of. Inheritance law and its related areas can be particularly complicated to those who are not well versed. Having a legal expert take care of everything not only offers you peace of mind, but will also save you time and potential stress in trying to understand high level legal terms and documents.
    • Solicitors are regulated, meaning they must adhere to strict professional standards.
    • Your Will benefits from being held in safe and secure storage.
