Did you know that:
• 80% of people do not have Wills
• of those that do 2 out of 3 wills are out of date
so no doubt why 1 death in 4 results in a family rift
Statistics show that:
• 4 out of 10 marriages end in divorce (Independent - March 1996)
• 5 out of 10 marriages end in divorce (Guardian – March 2008)
How many end in separation?
Consequently some children as a result are disinherited – There are more family relationships in stepfamilies.
Equally they can be disinherited by the subsequent remarriage of one partner
Did you know that:
• If you have to go into care the Local Authority will recoup the cost leaving the estate with approximately £20,000
• 200 homes sold each day to pay for long term care (1996)
• 12000 Accidental Deaths in 1998 (NSO)
• 100% of people will die
So are you concerned about:
your home being taken and sold to pay for Long Term Care
who will be looking after your minor children
protecting an inheritance for your bloodline
protecting your children's inheritance should you die and your partner or spouse remarry
protecting your children's inheritance should they divorce
protecting your spouse or children's inheritance from their bankruptcy
who will make decisions in respect of your affairs and property and your personal welfare when you may become less able to manage on your own.

We know and appreciate how difficult and stressful it can sometimes be when dealing with important issues like writing a will or making plans for the future. Most of us will put off doing these things until another day. Unfortunately more often than not something happens and we are not suitably prepared.
If you die without having made a Will your relatives will be left to sort out the resulting confusion at a time when they are least likely to have the emotional resources and energy to do so. The distribution of your estate will be determined by the ancient Intestacy Rules and more likely will not represent your wishes and could cause considerable financial hardship for your family caused by the inevitable delay in releasing your assets. Please click here for more information.
It makes sense to make a Will, before its too late, so - for affordable peace of mind, please leave your contact details.
Stevenage Wills strongly believe that every single person deserves the right to get the most from their hard earned assets. We want your assets to be under your control and not lost to unreasonable levels of tax.
With careful and thorough estate planning, Stevenage Wills aim to give you the maximum protection. By specialising in Wills and Estate Planning, Stevenage Wills have an in-depth expertise in this complex area of the law. We review your own situation in the comfort of your home, speak in plain language' not 'legalese' and we will take the time to explain and suggest the best options to meet your personal needs.
Some key points to remember:
• Be aware of what will happen to your money and possessions if you die without leaving a will. If the provisions on intestacy are not what you want, make a will.
• Do consider taking legal advice before ‘doing-it-yourself’. Mistakes can cause real difficulties for your loved ones and you will not be there to put things right.
• If you use an internet site to help you make your will, ensure that it relates to the law of England and Wales.
• Review your will from time to time to ensure it still reflects your wishes and caters for your current circumstances.
• Do not attempt to change your will by simply altering it or writing on it.
• Ensure that your will is kept somewhere safe, and that your executor(s) know where to find it.
