Wills & Probate
Nobody can be certain of what the future holds. As such, making a Will is a vital part of ensuring your affairs are in order. If you are concerned that someone you love or who depends on you may need help in the future, then you can make arrangements in your Will to ensure that the help they need, will be there.
Often people assume that money and possessions will pass automatically to their partners or children. Sadly this does not always happen without there being a Will. There is also the increased threat of litigation being brought in respect of the estate of someone who has passed away without a Will.
If you need a Will writing service, at Alan Simons & Co we can offer you an expert, sensible and practical approach to help you make the right decisions and to express your wishes in such a way so as to ensure that what you want to happen, will happen.
We can advise you on planning for the future including tax planning and care home fees. We can advise you with regards to the appointment of Guardians should you leave children under 18 years of age. We can also advise you of potential challenges to your Will and guide you on drawing up a Will to protect those that you want to benefit from your money and possessions.

Wills
Making a Will can often be a daunting decision to make and we can often find ways of putting it off. A Will though is an important document that you should consider at any age because without one, you will die intestate and your estate may not benefit those you love and wish it too.
Our team are able to help you consider your options, what your intentions are and draft the Will that best serves you and your family.
We appreciate that it is not always possible to attend our office and we are able to offer home and hospital visits.
Where possible we will offer a fixed fee and our fees start from £250 plus VAT for a simple Will. Please contact one of our solicitors for a quote.
Probate

Managing an Estate can be complicated if there is no Will.
We have many years’ experience in managing Estates and providing advice on all steps to obtain Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
