Why make a will
If you die without a valid will, the intestacy rules decide who inherits. Unmarried partners and stepchildren receive nothing under those rules, and your estate may not go where you would want. A will also lets you appoint guardians for children under 18, choose your executors and leave gifts to friends or charities.
How we can help

Wills that appoint guardians for children
Wills that reflect your religious wishes, including Islamic wills

Wills for people with property or family abroad
Getting the formalities right
A will must be in writing and signed by you in front of two witnesses who are both present at the same time, and the witnesses must then sign. A gift to a witness, or to a witness’s husband, wife or civil partner, can fail. In England and Wales, marriage or civil partnership usually cancels an existing will. A solicitor makes sure your will is signed and witnessed correctly.
Home visits across Newham
We arrange home visits across Newham and east London, including Stratford, Plaistow, East Ham, Forest Gate, Manor Park, Canning Town and Leyton, and video calls across London. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to make a will? Usually one or two meetings and a few weeks, depending on how complex your affairs are.
How much does a will cost? The solicitor confirms the fee before you go ahead. There is no charge for the first consultation.
Can I write my own will? You can, but home-made wills often turn out invalid or unclear because of how they were signed or worded, which can lead to family disputes.
When should I update my will? After any big life change, such as marriage, divorce, children or buying a home, and every few years.
