Writing Your Will: Protect What Matters Most

Protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are followed with a legally valid, professionally drafted Will.

Free, friendly consultations – with no obligation to proceed.

In today’s busy world, it’s easy to put off writing a Last Will and Testament, but it’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and secure your legacy. At Norfolk Wills & Estate Planning, we make the process simple, affordable, and stress-free. Our experienced advisors will ensure your Will is legally valid and fully reflects your wishes.

Why You Need a Last Will and Testament

A Will is not just for the wealthy — it’s essential for anyone who wants to make sure their assets are distributed according to their wishes. Without one, the law decides who inherits, which can lead to disputes and unnecessary stress for your loved ones.

By creating a Will, you gain peace of mind and control over:

  1. Distribution of Assets: Decide who inherits your money, property, and possessions.
  2. Guardianship of Minor Children: Nominate guardians for your children if anything happens to you.
  3. Executor Appointment: Choose someone you trust to manage your estate.
  4. Charitable Gifts: Leave a lasting legacy to causes you care about.

Writing a Will can seem daunting, but with professional support, it’s straightforward and reassuring.

  1. Initial Consultation: We discuss your wishes and family situation.
  2. Drafting Your Will: We prepare a legally valid document tailored to your needs.

FAQs

Why is it important to have a Will?

Having a Will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and helps prevent family disputes. Without a Will, the law decides who inherits, which may not reflect your intentions.

Can I write my own Will?

You can, but DIY Wills are often invalid or incomplete. A professionally drafted Will ensures it meets all legal requirements and that your wishes are clearly recorded and enforceable.

How often should I update my Will?

You should review your Will every few years or after any major life event — such as marriage, divorce, moving home, or having children — to make sure it still reflects your current circumstances.

What happens if I die without a Will?

If you die without a Will, your estate is distributed under the laws of intestacy. This may mean your assets don’t go to the people you would have chosen and can create unnecessary delays and stress for your loved ones.

Where should I store my Will?

You can keep your Will safely at home, but we recommend secure professional storage to ensure it’s protected and easy to locate when needed. Norfolk Wills & Estate Planning offers secure Will storage and free updates.

Can I change or cancel my Will later?

Yes. As long as you still have mental capacity, you can update, rewrite, or revoke your Will at any time. We can help you make sure any changes are done correctly and legally recognised.
