Simple Will

Simple Wills are a straightforward, cost-effective way of providing an inheritance

Our Simple Wills are modern, efficient documents which enable you to deal with your estate in a straightforward way, so that your assets are directly inherited by the people of your choice.

This works very well if you have a modest estate and straightforward wishes, and don’t feel the need to take the protective measures that are central to the Family Trust Will or Life Interest Will.

With a Simple Will, you can: -

Appoint the right people to administer your affairs after you have passed away – your Executors;

Appoint the right people to bring up your children if they are orphaned before they reach adulthood – your Testamentary Guardians.

Pass your assets into the direct ownership of your chosen heirs – making Absolute Legacies.

However, this probably won’t be the right kind of Will for you if are concerned about: -

Care home fees in later life;

The risk of your estate being diverted to your children’s stepparent if you die first and your other half remarries;

Divorce-proofing or debt-proofing your child’s inheritance;

Providing equitably for your blended family.

If you have concern about any of these issues, a Family Trust is likely to be the right solution.

The cost of a Simple Will is £200 if you are single and £300 if you are a couple.
