A 10 year delay to the distribution of an estate due to a homemade Will.

This is why we advise against DIY, online, free or very cheap Wills, the savings are small but what is at risk is great.

Having a Will that is not correctly drafted, or not based on proper individual advice, can prove to be invalid, ineffective and vulnerable to challenge.

It could leave an even worse position than not having a Will at all. This could mean that your wishes do not take effect and lead to expensive legal disputes and the associated distress.

For your peace of mind and security Goodwills is a solicitor led specialist legal services practice.

One of the ways we serve the community, is by holding information stalls at events across the local area.

These give people the opportunity to meet us informally, have a chat, ask any questions and pick up relevant leaflets and information.

The largest of these events is the Frome Agricultural & Cheese Show which is attended by many people from Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset and beyond.

We would be pleased to see you at the event this coming Saturday. You will find us near our friends at The Pop Up Pet Shop.

"Writing a will is one of the most important things you can do to protect your loved ones, and it needs to be done right. Too many online services make the process seem quick and easy, while failing to flag the risks or provide any legal support. While technology has made will-writing more accessible, it has also introduced serious risks. A poorly drafted or invalid will can create stress, disputes, and financial loss for families at the worst possible time."

James Daley
Director - Fairer Finance

Here at Goodwills, we have always pointed out that a Will is an important legal document and it is vital that it is drafted correctly. We recommend that you avoid DIY or online Wills, the savings are small but what is at risk is great.

Having a Will that is not correctly drafted or not based on proper advice can be invalid, ineffective and vulnerable to challenge. It could leave you in an even worse position than not having a Will at all.
