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.

Monika couldn’t have been more helpful from start to finish. We were writing a will after our first baby came in April and everything was explained incredibly well including the difficult eventualities of will writing.

We used Winstons for a house purchase and will writing in 2024 and would definately recommend.Emily was especially helpful in will writing answering all questions, making sure we understood the details and that we were comfortable with the end product.

Anne

We engaged Winston Solicitors to write a pair of mirror wills under the Will Aid Scheme. All communications were professional and friendly from the outset. The client executive who wrote our wills, Emily Spencer, was effient and thorough. She was very thorough in ensuring she understood our particular circumstances, helped us to consider potential scenarios to plan for and explained legal terminology where needed. We were very happy with the service provided and would recommend to others.
