Doesn't it make sense to ensure that, in the event of you dying unexpectedly,  there are no additional worries for  those you love?  If there is no will, apart from lengthy delays in people having access to your estate - whether it is a bank account, insurance, property or other asset - it may not go to the people you intended.


  It has never been easier to make a will.  
  It is not complicated.  
  It does not involve a lot of paper work and 
       . . . . it is not expensive.

Why not take the worry out of this situation by having a will drawn up by Watson Nevill?  

We will ensure that it is properly executed to give you the peace of mind of knowing that, after your death, everything will be dealt with as you require.

There are also other considerations concerning your estate which Watson Nevill Solicitors can help you with

  WILLS

If there is no will and you should die, then the legal term is 'died intestate'.  In such an event, disposal of your estate (assets) will be subject to strict legal procedures which may take some considerable time, especially when there are concerns over the rightful heirs.  This can cause distress and lead to financial difficulties.

   TAX PLANNING & DEATH DUTIES

Another pain that your relatives may have to face is paying Inheritance Tax (or IHT) on whatever you do leave in your will to them after you pass away, or on gifts given to them in the seven years prior to your death.

Any assets that you leave to your spouse, or any amount that is less than £234,000* is covered by IHT but any sum over this is.

* this figure is subject to variation in accordance with various finance acts by the Government

There are ways of reducing the burden of inheritance tax by planning for it in advance.  Contact us to discuss some of the ways that this can be done.  Watson Nevill can then provide advice and help prepare the appropriate legal documents.
