The preparation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Funeral Plans in the comfort of your own home and at a time to suit you.

Having begun writing Wills in 1981 when I began my career in the law working for Solicitors in Poole as a Wills, Probate and Trusts Legal Executive I have since had a varied career inside and outside of the legal profession. I currently work part time for a Somerset firm of Solicitors and part time for myself as SMG Wills.

Making a Will is often something we put off to another day. Have you made yours?
Making a will lets you clearly set out your wishes when you die and gives you peace of mind to know that your affairs are left in good order for those you leave behind.

If you don't leave a Will you have no control over what happens when you die and there may be unintended and unfortunate consequences.

Why should I make a will?
A will allows you to dictate what happens to your assets, how they are divided, and who will look after your children; it gives you peace of mind that your affairs are in order when you die. If you do not make a will, the law will decide who inherits your estate. Thus, if you want to make specific provisions for family, friends and/or charities, make a will!

The law still does not recognise unmarried or co-habiting partners who live together as having the same rights as a husband and wife or civil partners. Consequently, despite the length of your relationship, your partner will not receive anything from your estate if you do not have a will, and vice-versa.

A will is also vital if you have children or dependants such as an elderly parent who you may support financially. Without a will, uncertainty may arise in regards to who will look after your children/dependants and whether they will have financial provision after your death.

Making a Will, properly drafted by a professional is possibly the most caring and sensible thing to can do to ensure that after you have gone, your affairs are left in good order and there is no uncertainty about your wishes and intentions.

Using an experienced and qualified Will writer makes the process simple and it needn't cost the earth.

You can of course make your own Will or use a cheap online service but the old adage "you get what you pay for" is often true when it comes to making a Will. Far better to pay a little more and get peace of mind knowing that you have been properly advised and your Will does what you intend.

Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death. Not making a Will can cause serious problems and expense for your family and loved ones at a time when they are grieving and can lead to upsetting family disputes.

In a Will you can appoint Guardians for your children and appoint Executors you know and trust. If you have vulnerable children or dependents, you can create Trusts to help protect them financially when you are gone.

With blended families being far more common it is important to ensure that your property is inherited by those you intend to receive it. Unmarried couples and stepchildren have no automatic inheritance rights so the only way of providing for them is with a valid Will.

Concerned about Care Home fees? There are still ways you can reduce such liabilities by using a carefully drafted Will.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs).
LPAs allow someone (Your Attorneys) to act for you and make decisions on your behalf, and in your best interests, if you should lose the mental capacity to make decisions yourself due to a stroke, head injury, serious illness or dementia.

Without LPAs, if you lose capacity to manage your own affairs no one, not even spouses, children or partners would have the legal authority to act on your behalf. An application would then need to be made to the Court of Protection which is both expensive and can take more than a year to conclude. In the meantime, an already bad situation would be made considerably worse as no decisions could be made. No one would have access to your money to pay bills or run a business, even joint bank accounts may be frozen.

LPAs are best looked at as insurance; you hope they will never be needed but if they are needed, they are worth their weighty in gold! With registered LPAs in place, your chosen Attorneys will immediately be able to step in and help if anything occurs to make them necessary.

I am based just outside Templecombe and have years of experience and as a Chartered Legal Executive and Member of the Society of Will Writers you can use my services with confidence. What is more, I will visit you in your own home to take your instructions at a time to suit you. Working from home I don’t have the same overheads as High Street Solicitors and therefore my charges are generally much lower.

A person who dies without leaving a Will is said to have died Intestate. The property of an intestate person is distributed according to rules set out in the law, which might not be what the person intended or would have wanted. The only way to avoid this is to have a valid Will.

Without a Will the administration of a person's estate can be more complicated and often is more expensive and time consuming. There is far more scope for family disagreement and injustices which often cause a great deal of stress and contention. These complications can be reduced by making a valid Will using the services of a professional Will writer.

Often unknown is the fact that unmarried partners and stepchildren do not inherit when a person dies intestate, even if they have been living with each other for decades or have been brought up by the deceased as his or her own children. This unintended injustice can be avoided by having a valid Will.

Whatever your circumstances, having a valid Will is the most responsible and caring thing to can do and ensures that your wishes are carried out when you die.

Some people decide to cut corners and make their own Will or use a cheap online service to make their Wills. This is understandable but in my years of experience I have come across many such Wills that are either invalid or do not achieve what was intended due to a poor understanding of the law or inaccuracies. In the long run it usually pays to use a professional. You may pay a little more initially but could save your estate considerable expense and distress in the future.

WHY MAKE A WILL?

The only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death is to make a Will.
Here are some of the reasons why. Maybe you fit into one of these categories? If so, I would be pleased to help.

1.Are you married or thinking of getting married?
Don’t assume that your spouse will inherit everything when you die. If you don’t have a Will your estate will be distributed according to the Law of Intestacy and potentially not everything would go to your spouse. If you are unmarried, but living with your partner then your partner would receive nothing unless you have made a Will providing for them.

2. Do you have children under 18 years old.
Who would take responsibility for them if you were to die? In your Will you can appoint Guardians of your choice to look after them. If you don’t do this, you have no say in who takes care of them and ultimately this will be a decision for the Courts.

3. Do you have children of a former marriage or step children?
In order to properly provide for your new spouse and at the same time ensure that your estate passes eventually to your own natural children, you must make a Will. Otherwise, potentially your children could be disinherited in the future. Similarly, if you want to benefit step-children then you must have a Will as step-children do not inherit on intestacy.

4. Do you have a vulnerable child or adult in the family who depends on you?
The only way to protect that vulnerable person from others and from themselves and ensure that any means tested benefits they are entitled to are not lost, is to make a Will.

5. Are you concerned about Care Home fees?
By making a Will incorporating a suitable Trust you can protect a part of your estate from Care fees and ensure that your children or other beneficiaries benefit.

6. Do you have particular family heirlooms you want to pass down?
The only way to ensure that particular friends or relatives receive specific items after you’ve gone is to make a Will.

7. Do you want to give to Charity?
Only by making a Will can you benefit the charity you’ve supported during your lifetime. Not only is this a worthwhile thing to do it is also highly tax efficient.

These are just a few reasons for making a Will. Even if you don’t have any of these concerns, it remains the case that the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death is to make a Will.
It is a caring thing to do and brings peace of mind once it is done, knowing that you have sorted things out in advance and your loved ones do not have to sort out a mess once you’ve gone. Compared with the expense of sorting things out after you die if there is no Will, the cost now of making a Will is very small. I work on a fixed fee and visit you in your home as standard.

Whether you are young or old, rich or not so rich, leaving a Will, prepared properly by a professional is possibly the most caring and sensible thing to can do to ensure that when you die your affairs are left in good order and there is no uncertainty about your wishes and intentions, that could possibly lead to disputes or unnecessary upset when you have gone.

Using an experienced and qualified Will writer makes the process simple and it needn't cost the earth. Yes, you can make your own Will or use a cheap online service but the old adage "you get what you pay for" is often true when it comes to making a Will. Far better to pay a little more and get peace of mind knowing that you have been properly advised and your Will does what you need it to.

If you want the peace of mind that comes from having a Will professionally written then be sure to have your Will prepared by someone qualified and experienced in writing Wills.

Not all so called Will writers are qualified or covered by a professional body with a code of conduct and rigorous standards.

There are many online services offering a Will at knock down prices or even for free. These services are often not as cheap as they first appear and as you don't know who you are dealing with you cannot be sure that the Will is being written by someone qualified to do so. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" is often true when it comes to Will writers and with cheaper services you don't always receive all the advice you need and are not asked the searching questions that are necessary to ensure that your Will is fit for purpose.

I am a Chartered Legal Executive and a member of the Society of Will Writers. I have received extensive training over many years and have to comply with the codes of conduct of two professional bodies and carry out continuous professional training. You can therefore use my services with complete confidence.

My charges are reasonable and reflect the service offered. Yes, you can make a Will cheaper but you may sacrifice peace of mind and if the Will isn't prepared properly the cost to your estate in the long run may be considerably more than you are expecting, as rectifying errors can be costly both financially and emotionally for those you leave behind.

And finally, I am genuinely local and visit you in your home. I'm not based in a different part of the country and you won't need to go through a call centre to contact me. I give an individual and personal service.
