Who Should Make A Will?
Making a Will?
Everybody knows it is important to make a Will, but most people put
off making one of their own for a variety of reasons.
The directors of Will Drafters
Ltd, David Crossland and Michelle Hanover, are now urging people
to consider their own circumstances and make sure they have all their
affairs in order.
“A death in the family is always a tragedy, particularly if it is sudden
or unexpected. If surviving relatives then have to battle with legalities
to get what they thought was rightfully theirs then the burden can
be greatly intensified”, said Mr. Crossland.
The majority of Will Drafters’ work – they offer a specialist Will
writing service which can be carried out over the telephone – comes
from people who have witnessed the tragic results of somebody near to
them dying without leaving a Will.
“We are often told of the difficulties families have if the breadwinner
dies, for example”, said Miss Hanover.
“If somebody dies intestate it can often take two years or longer to
sort everything out, and in the meantime bank or building society
accounts could be frozen. In cases where a valid Will – which has
been written, signed and witnessed – has been made the average length
of time is only six months”, said Mr. Crossland.
The convenient and nationwide Will writing service offered by
Will Drafters costs £66 for a single person, including VAT, and
£99 for a husband and wife or a couple living together.
