What happens when someone dies without a will?

It's a common situation.

When someone dies intestate (without a valid will), the rules of intestacy decide who inherits, and the result isn't always what the family expected or what the person would have wanted.

A few things that might surprise you:
→ Unmarried partners receive nothing under intestacy rules, regardless of how long they were together.
→ Stepchildren are not treated the same as biological children.
→ The estate can become tied up for months while the situation is resolved.
→ If there are no qualifying relatives, assets can pass to the Crown.

The solution is straightforward: a valid, up-to-date will.

If you work with clients who haven't made one, or if you don't have one yourself, get in touch with WT Solicitors.

We're happy to support your clients directly or answer any questions you have.

Buying your first home together is a significant milestone, and ensuring the legal aspects are handled correctly is essential.

For couples purchasing property jointly, a declaration of trust sets out clearly who owns what share, what happens if contributions differ, and what the position is if circumstances change down the line. Combined with up-to-date wills, this provides a solid legal foundation at exactly the right moment, before problems can arise rather than after.

Whether you are buying a home together or you work with clients who are, we would love to help make sure the legal groundwork is properly in place, from declarations of trust and wills to how your estate is protected going forward.

You've built something. Protected it, grown it, put everything into it.

Have you thought about what happens to it after you?

A will is the foundation of any business owner's estate plan. Without one, decisions about your share of the business, your assets, and your family's future are left to rules that weren't written with your situation in mind.

The most successful business owners we work with share one thing in common: they planned ahead, not in a rush.

💼 We work with business owners across Oxfordshire to make sure what they've built is protected for the long term.

"Why pay for a Will when you can write one yourself?"

It's a fair question. Here's the honest answer.

DIY Wills aren't invalid because they're homemade; they're risky because the law around them is more exacting than most people realise. A Will that isn't signed in front of two witnesses simultaneously is invalid. A witness who is also a beneficiary may lose their gift entirely. Assets held jointly or in a pension may not pass under your Will at all, regardless of what it says.

And if someone later challenges your Will: on grounds of capacity, undue influence, or inadequate provision, the difference between a professionally drafted Will and a DIY one could be the difference between your wishes being upheld or overturned.

At WT Solicitors, we don't just draft the document. We review how your assets are held, supervise the signing process, and keep detailed records of your instructions, so that if your Will is ever questioned, there's clear evidence of your intentions.

A Will is one of the most important legal documents you'll ever make. It's worth getting right.

A trust is only effective if it is set up correctly.

Trusts can offer significant benefits, from protecting assets to supporting future generations, but they must be carefully structured to achieve the intended outcome.

Choosing the right trustees, clearly defining their powers and ensuring the trust aligns with your wider tax planning objectives are all essential considerations. Alongside this, trustees must understand their ongoing responsibilities, including compliance with HMRC requirements and key reporting obligations.

Without the right legal guidance, trusts can quickly become complex, incorrectly administered or fail to support the intended beneficiaries.

At WT Solicitors, we focus on ensuring trusts are not only drafted accurately but are also practical, compliant and built to work long term, giving you confidence that your arrangements are fit for purpose.
