Although there are options to complete Wills at home, there are many reasons to see a solicitor for help in preparing your Will. Some of the most important reasons are:
Proper drafting
Ensuring that your Will is drafted in an up to date and legally correct manner is very important to minimize any risk of confusion when it comes time for your estate to be administered. Our drafting process will also ensure that your Will accurately reflects your wishes.
Ensuring validity
There are strict, formal requirements for a Will to be a valid document. We will ensure that not only the document is drafted in accordance with these requirements, but that it is signed and witnessed correctly also. Because we guide you through this process, there is no added stress on you to ensure all the right boxes are ticked.
Personalised advice
We believe that this is one of the most important reasons to have a solicitor involved in preparing your Will. Our solicitors will not only draft your Will in accordance with your wishes, but they know the right questions to ask to ensure that we have covered all the relevant areas of your estate planning. They will take an active role in assessing your personal and financial situations to ensure your estate planning is tailored to you. Where you have businesses or trusts, this includes preparing your documents with these structures in mind and providing you with important advice regarding implications of estate planning on those structures. We can also assist you further with any necessary changes to ensure your wishes regarding your businesses and trusts can take place.
Powers of Attorney
While we assist with your Will, we can also advise you about and help prepare your Power of Attorney documents to ensure that you are taken care of in the situation you are unable to do so for yourself.
Safe storage of documents
At Alphastream Lawyers we also provide the option for you to store your original documents (including your Wills and Powers of Attorney) in our Deed Safekeeping. This ensures that your important, original documents are kept in a secure place until you need them.
We can help! It would be our pleasure to assist in preparing your Wills and Powers of Attorney. So, when you are ready to ensure that your estate planning matters are properly
