Challenging a Will

The death of a loved one is always a difficult time. The situation can unfortunately be made even more stressful if it is discovered that the deceased’s last Will is not as family members and friends may have expected, particularly if it is felt that the Will does not reflect the deceased’s true wishes as they had previously expressed them.

Too young to make a Will?

In your twenties or even thirties, making a Will isn’t always a top priority. Many claim they’re too young, they don’t own enough, they don’t have any children yet or they can’t afford it!

DIY Wills and the hidden risks

At the outset, DIY Wills can be seen as an inexpensive option. However, the legal costs involved to remedy their potential errors, may well exceed the cost of a professionally prepared Will. Moreover, it might not be possible to rectify mistakes that are discovered when it’s too late. People are not always aware of the complexities of making a Will and can assume probate work is really simple. This is not always the case.

What happens if you die without a Will?

Many people are under the misapprehension that there is no need for them to make a Will as their spouse will inherit everything. However, under the Intestacy Rules, a spouse or civil partner will only inherit the whole estate if the deceased has no children.

New year, new Will?

More than half of British adults have not made a Will. Of those who have, many have not updated their wills for some time, which is reflected in the soaring number of inheritance disputes heard in the High Court.
