Yes, if you are aged over 18 and have assets. This is because a will is the only way you can make sure that your wishes will be carried out after your death.

If you do not make a will then the intestacy rules apply on your death. These rules contain a pecking order of who can inherit based on your family situation. This can mean that those who you wish to benefit from your estate could lose out and it could cause considerable hardship to them.

As of November 2024, it is taking 16 weeks from the day the Probate Registry confirm they are processing your application for them to issue you with a Grant. However, there can be exceptions.

Both Lasting and Enduring Powers of Attorney can usually only be used by your attorneys once they are registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.

Client feedback

We had our Wills updated and redrafted very recently. We received a really good service from Emily. She gave us very good advice, was extremly communicative and responsive and enabled us to get the Wills we wanted.

I used Winston Solicitors and was assigned Emily Spencer as my solicitor for assisting with making a will. I found the process easy and Emily was helpful with advice and guidance. I would definitely recommend using this firm for any legal issues.
