To make sure that your property, possessions and wealth are distributed as you would wish.

Anyone aged eighteen years or older, who is sound in mind.

There’s no time like NOW! You should particularly consider writing or changing your Will when you become married, divorced, or change your personal relationship in any other way. Also at the birth of a child or grandchild, and at the death of a close family member.

Yes, of course you can save a few dollars this way! But is it worth it? - could you guarantee it being legally proven, legally signed and covering every eventuality? If you could not guarantee such things, you need a professional service to help.

No! For most family situations a Will-Writing company with the expertise and experience of its consultants, is perfectly adequate. You should use a solicitor only if your circumstances and requirements are particularly complex, or if you need to take legal advice. If we felt that you needed to take such profession advice, we would let you know.

In some cases it is possible to use a Codicil to amend your Will. However, if the change affects the guardians, beneficiary or Executors, it is advisable to have the Will re-written. There is a chance of a Codicil being misplaced or the wishes not being carried out by the Executors as the Codicil is not referred to in the original Will.

Yes, sometimes we can write a Will to cover assets in various countries. However, differing legal systems in different countries can often result in the process of probate taking a long time if there is only one Will. Often it is recommended that separate Wills are drawn up to cover assets in each country. This can save time and ensure that funds are available to those who require them in as short a time as possible.

Caring for your children up to the age of eighteen years is quite a responsibility and should be given only to those who are in a position to do so. Your father and mother would seem an obvious choice, but they have already raised their family and may not now have the physical stamina for such a responsibility. A better choice would be your brother or sister or maybe a very close friend. This matter needs careful consideration and discussion with all those involved. Only name someone with his or her prior permission and agreement.

Two people over the age of eighteen years will be required to witness your Will. All three of you must be together when signing. Your witnesses do not have to know the contents of your Will, they are only there to witness that you have signed the Will, that you are over the age of eighteen years and that you are sound in mind. No one mentioned in your Will as beneficiaries can act as witnesses, neither can their spouses.

In such a case you could consider naming your favourite charity as your main beneficiary.
