Wills

Making a Will is one of the most important documents you will ever enter into. It ensures that when you die your wishes are carried out and your estate is dealt with in the most tax efficient way.

Victoria Law Solicitors are experienced at dealing with straightforward Wills to more complex estate and succession planning. Whatever your requirements we will provide you with a clear explanation of the contents of your Will in writing and then a further explanation in person to ensure you are 100% satisfied before you sign.

As members of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP) we are specialists in inheritance and succession planning, keeping at the forefront of best practice so you can feel confident in your arrangements.

Making a Will – How we can Help?

You may not know where to start when making a Will. Victoria Law Solicitors will talk you through every step of the way.

We can advise on:

1. Straightforward single wills for individuals

2. Mirror wills for couples who wish to leave their estates to each other and then on second death to their children, other family members, friends or charities

3. Property will trusts to protect 50% of your family home should the survivor of you unfortunately go into nursing care

4. Wills to incorporate discretionary trusts to control the distribution of your estate following death should you have beneficiaries that require protection

5. Inheritance Tax Planning

Why make a Will?

By making a Will you can indicate how you would like your estate to be distributed upon your death. You can choose who you would like to deal with your estate administration, namely Executors and more importantly who you would like to look after your children, Guardians, should you die prematurely.

If you die without leaving a Will you will be deemed to have died intestate. Law then dictates how your estate is distributed:
