Wills
[Click here to go back to the homepage.]
As everyone knows, it is eminent good sense, to write a will yet the vast majority
of the population simply have not done so.
A will is a document saying who shall administer one's estate after death (the
executor(s)). It consists of simple set of instructions which are not binding
until the maker dies so that it can be changed as many times as the maker wishes.
Only after the makers death do the wishes take effect.
£50 Scheme
It is not the intention of our £50+VAT scheme to deal with the most complex
of wills e.g. of businessmen and others with complex estates. The system is
intended to put into the appropriate terminology the wishes of what might be
termed the ordinary citizen. It is not the intention of the scheme to give any
tax advice and that the estate of the maker of the will does not exceed £254,000.
We are offering what might loosely be termed an over the counter service with
the proviso that in every case the WILL is drawn by a qualified member of our
staff and if we are in any way uncertain of instructions we shall e-mail for
clarification without additional charge.
Please read the notes below to learn what you need to think about. When you
are sure of your wishes, all you need to do to progress is to click the following
link to e-mail us or call us on 020 8809 6756.
Once you have done so, we shall draft the will and it will be sent back to you
with full instructions by e-mail, fax or ordinary post.

Notes
These notes are intended to assist you to organise your thoughts:
1. Think, who do you want to be your executors. One to four people should be named. The usual number is two. Further notes appear with the question.
2. Think, if you have infant children you should think about naming guardians.
3. Think, whether you wish to give any instructions as to the disposal of your body, we recently had a case where a person wished to be cremated to the tune of 'smoke gets in your eyes'.
4. Think, about any gifts of money (including to charities if appropriate) that you wish to make.
5. Think, about gifts of any particular items that you wish to make, e.g. personal effects and jewellery.
6. Think, how you wish to dispose of the bulk of your whole
estate, after giving any gifts. Will it go to one person or should it be split
into shares. Think, what you want to happen if any of these people die before
you, what should happen to their share, e.g. should it go to the survivors or
possibly to their children.
Warnings
1. Divorce or marriage in ordinary circumstances revokes a will. If you are about to get divorced or married please complete the questionnaire but in the additional information box at the end please give us details of the proposed divorce or marriage.
2. The WILL that will be prepared is drawn in accordance with the Law applicable in England and Wales. Of course persons out of that jurisdiction may participate in the scheme but they will have to make independent inquiry as to the legality of the WILL in their own country.
3. Close family members, e.g. wife or child, have the right to challenge a will if they are omitted. If it is intended to exclude such a person then please e-mail, fax or telephone for advice (fees then will be charged on a time basis).
4. We cannot guarantee the security/secrecy of the Internet.
You may take advantage of our system by either using the Internet, fax telephone
or ordinary post to give us instructions and to give us your credit card number
for payment. We will send you the completed document with instructions as to
execution by e-mail, fax or ordinary post, with execution instructions.
