Wills Week: Why should I instruct a solicitor to prepare my will?
Umar Shaikh, Senior Associate| Wills, Trusts & Estates | May 7, 2020

In today’s video Umar discusses why you should instruct a solicitor to prepare a will.
Will writing is unregulated and that everyone can offer Will writing services regardless of their knowledge or experience in the field.
At Anthony Gold, you can rest assured that your Will will be written by a qualified solicitor with experience and expertise in writing Wills that reflect your individual circumstances and wishes.
One size does not fit all, as many online Will writers will try to suggest. Instructing a solicitor is beneficial as they are able to explain your options, advise you of the tax implications and make suggestions for you to consider to make sure that your Will perfectly represents your wishes.
We consider the deeper complexities that can arise after death and we write our Wills to include the appropriate contingencies to provide you with utmost reassurance that your affairs will be dealt with in the way that you would like them to be.
You will be able to find cheaper Will writing services elsewhere but you won’t find a better, more comprehensive service. Of course, using qualified and experienced solicitors has an impact on the cost but we believe that you can’t put a price of piece of mind. Although, of course we will always agree the price with you beforehand.
