Wills and Codicils

A properly drafted will makes life easier for those you leave behind by ensuring that your assets are left just as you intended.

 

At Wright & Co, we make sure your estate is distributed amongst the people that you would like, as well as ensuring stability for your children by appointing guardians and setting guidelines for them regarding major decisions that have to be made. We can also ensure your estate is dealt with in a tax-efficient manner by applying exemptions to reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax payable. You can find out more about Inheritance Tax here.

Intestacy rules do not recognise unmarried couples no matter how long they have been living together. If any property (including your home) is in the sole name of the partner that dies, it will pass to their next of kin or the Crown rather than the surviving partner. Even if you are married, the law limits the amount that passes directly to a spouse on intestacy. If the net estate is greater than £250,000 some of the estate may have to be shared with any surviving children and grandchildren.

Making a will is not expensive and it provides peace of mind in knowing that what you want to happen after your death actually takes place.

We provide a sensitive, open and practical service to help find the right solution for you and your family.
