Why Make a Will?
If you die without a will (known as dying intestate), the law decides how your estate is divided - and it may not reflect your personal wishes. A professionally written will ensures:
- Your assets go to the people you choose
- You appoint trusted guardians for children under 18
- Your partner is protected if you’re not married
- You avoid unnecessary tax liabilities
- Your estate is dealt with more efficiently after your death
- You reduce the risk of disputes or legal challenges
Our will making solicitors can help whether your circumstances are simple or complex. We tailor your will to your personal and financial situation, with clear advice throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a solicitor to make a will?
You’re not legally required to use a solicitor, but professionally drafted wills are far less likely to be challenged or found invalid. Our solicitors for wills ensure your wishes are clear, binding, and tax-efficient.
How often should I update my will?
You should review your will every few years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, or acquiring property.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your estate will be divided according to intestacy laws - which may not match your wishes. For example, unmarried partners and stepchildren may receive nothing without a will.
Can I include funeral wishes in my will?
Yes. You can outline funeral preferences in your will, though these are not legally binding. We’ll help you express your wishes clearly.
Do you offer home or video appointments?
Yes. If you can’t attend our office, we can arrange home visits or video meetings. Our will solicitors Liverpool team will ensure the same level of service.
