North East legal and financial planning specialist Ensure Inheritance has launched an On-line Will Making Service to allow people to make decisions about their bequests in their own time and in the comfort of their own home.
Information provided on-line is reviewed and checked by one of Seaham-based Ensure Inheritance’s panel of experienced solicitors who will then speak by telephone to the person making the Will to ensure that they have taken into account their family circumstances and everything they own, so that the Will is right for them.
“Thinking about our death is an uncomfortable experience for most people, and as a result, more than half of adults in the UK die without making a Will. We hope that by allowing people to fill out the details of their bequests at home, this will mean that more people feel comfortable and confident to do so,” says Andrew Simpson, the Lead Panel Solicitor with Ensure Inheritance.
“Only by making a valid Will can you ensure that your loved ones will be provided for after your death and that the people and charities you want will benefit from your hard earned efforts.
“If you die without making a Will, the law takes over and your assets will be distributed according to strict rules based upon legal and blood relationships. For example, unmarried partners will not receive any part of the estate, so it is vital to take the plunge and make a Will.”
