Why do I need a will?

Writing a will is the only way you can guarantee how your assets are shared amongst your family and friends. It also lets you decide who should look after any dependants that you leave behind.

If you don't have a valid will, the courts will take these decisions for you. People often assume that their spouse or partner will be the main beneficiary of their estate but the court may decide otherwise. As well as making sure your loved ones are cared for, a professionally written will can save the beneficiaries of your estate paying unnecessary tax through careful inheritance tax planning.

The Goodwill Partnership makes writing a will easy, convenient and with our guaranteed lowest price for a home visit solicitor-provided will, very affordable. If you want to write or renew your will, you can request a FREE no obligation home visit from one of our professional will counsellors. All of our wills are provided by our panel of solicitors who specialise in estate and probate law and are regulated by the Law Society.
