What is a Will?
A Will is a legal document which allows you to choose the way your assets are divided after you die. When you have a Will drafted by a solicitor, such as our Wills Solicitors in Preston, it directly reflects your wishes and who you would like to benefit from your estate. You also have the benefit of receiving bespoke legal advice about the matters which could impact your estate- and therefore your Will- in the future.
Who Should Make a Will?
There is a common misconception that you need to be old before you think of making a Will. Trust us when we say, this is genuinely not the case. You do not need to be elderly to make a Will. Even if you are young, do not have children, are single or do not have many assets, you should still consider making a Will.
Everyone, no matter what age or circumstance, has wishes on how they would like their assets to be distributed after they die. The only way to ensure that these wishes are fulfilled when you die, is to make a Will. If you have a house, a car, money in savings, if you do not have a Will in place, then your assets, money in the bank, or the share of the property you own, may not be distributed as you would like.
If you do not make a Will, your estate can be harder to deal with after you have died In fact, applications for Letters of Administration where people die without a Will, take longer than applications for Grant of Probate where people die with a Will, as of June 2023. This could cause your family additional stress, while they wait for the Probate Registry to deal with their application admist the backlog of thousands of other applications being made.

MG Legal's expert Wills and Probate Solicitors in Preston are experienced in dealing with all aspects of Wills, Will Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate applications, Deputyships, and Estate Administration.
What change of circumstances would mean that I need a new Will?
Our Wills Solicitors in Preston would advise you to review your Will every year to ensure that it still reflects your wishes. That doesn't mean you need to make and pay for a new Will every year, but simply read through it and check your Will still reflects your wishes. If your wishes have changed you should consider making a new Will. In addition, the law changes, and you should consult Wills Solicitors in Preston every few years, just to ensure your Will is up-to-date, and takes advantage of all tax-free amounts that could be available on your estate after your death.
You should especially consider making a new Will in the following changes of circumstances:
Getting married, remarried or registering a civil partnership - if you get married or enter into a Civil Partnership after making a Will, unless the Will is made "in contemplation", it will be revoked.
Getting divorced, dissolving a civil partnership or separating - this could render some clauses in your Will invalid, or it could mean that your ex-partner would benefit from your estate, even though you have separated. Seek advice to ensure that you know what will happen to your estate.
Birth or adoption of children - you may consider adding these as beneficiaries in your Will, or even take advice on not including them. You can make provisions for who would act as guardians for your children on your death, and make sure that you include provisions for Trustees to look after your children's money until they are old enough.
Probate Solicitors in Preston
After your loved one has died, their estate may be required to go to Probate, before you can administer it. Probate is the legal process of getting legal authority from the Probate Registry to deal with an estate. Many organisations, such as banks and building societies, will require sight of the Grant of Probate, before they will release funds to the executors of an estate. Our Preston Probate Solicitors tend to find that many high street banks will request Probate over £15,000, although some do have lower and higher thresholds than this. If your loved one had a property, our Probate Solicitors in Preston would advise that Probate will need to be obtained to satisfy the Land Registry's requirements. Applying for Probate can be a stressful experience, especially when you are grieving the loss of your loved one. That's why many executors instruct our expert Probate Solicitors in Preston to assist with the process. All of our services can be offered on a fixed-fee basis; simply speak to our Preston Probate Solicitors to find out more.
To discuss an application for Probate, contact our Probate Solicitors in Preston today on Preston 01772 783 314 or contact us online, here. Prefer email? Our Preston Probate Solicitors can be contacted on wills@mglegal.co.uk.
Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Preston:
Our Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Preston cannot stress enough the importance of everyone having Lasting Powers of Attorney ('LPAs'). These documents allow you to authorise trusted people to make decisions on your behalf, if you lack capacity to make the decision yourself. Unfortunately, LPAs can be required when we least expect it, so it is better to make them before you need them, than for your loved ones to find themselves experiencing difficulties when you can no longer make them. Our Preston Lasting Powers of Attorney Solicitors can guide you through the documents from start to finish, making sure these are completed correctly, signed and registered, ready to use if you ever need them.
To discuss making LPAs, contact our Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors in Preston today on 01772 783 314 or contact us online, here. Prefer email? Our Preston LPA Solicitors can be contacted on wills@mglegal.co.uk. We offer fixed-fees, which you can see here, and home visits, by appointment.
