Your Will today can affect your family for generations to come

There is so much more to writing a Will than simply creating a list of who gets what. The InHouse home visit service includes a short review of your estate, to ensure that you understand properly what you have and what you can (and cannot) pass on through your Will – and we look at how you might leave things by other means besides your Will.

Then we consider your family and friends, and look at the options for specific legacies, for shares of the residue, and for exploiting the power of legacies given in Trust. Even where your own estate is nowhere near Inheritance Tax thresholds we can look at protecting the overall family situation from Tax, and consider the impact of Residential Care Fees and of other calls upon your money.

That’s why it is not just making a Will, it’s Estate Planning.

Finally we help you decide who to appoint as Executors and Trustees to carry the Will out for you, and to appoint Guardians to look after any children still under 18.

Don’t worry if it sounds a little daunting – we keep it as simple as possible whilst covering all the key points.

If you already have a Will then we can update it – either by creating a Codicil (an addition) to your Will or by rewriting it altogether.

“Gobbledygook” – that is banned at InHouse. As far as possible we write your Will in plain, comprehensible language. Of course we have to cover all the legal requirements (and putting Trusts into a Will usually requires some extra complications) but we don’t use old-fashioned language if we can avoid it. Never be afraid to ask to have your Will is explained – if you don’t understand what we have written then we haven’t finished our job.
