FAQs

Your questions answered. Take a look at some our frequently asked questions for more Information.

Why is it important to have a legally binding will?
A legally binding will ensures that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes upon your death. Without a will, your assets may be divided according to the laws of intestacy, which is unlikely to reflect your personal preferences. A will can also help reduce any potential disputes among heirs and provide clear instructions for the care of minor children.
What is the role of a will executor?
Choosing an executor is one of the most significant decisions when you write a will. An Executor is the deceased’s legal representative after their death. They are responsible for ensuring your estate is distributed according to your wishes. They make funeral arrangements, determine whether Inheritance Tax is due and may have to apply for a Grant of Probate.

At SE-Solicitors we help you identify the most suitable candidate for this vital role, and provide them with the support and advice to perform their duties effectively. Whether you choose to appoint a family member, trusted friend or a professional, we prepare them for the tasks ahead from probate to distribution of assets.

What are the benefits of using a solicitors over attempting to write my own will?
While it is possible to write a will on your own, it is advisable to seek professional legal advice to ensure that it is valid and covers all necessary arrangements and legal grounds. A solicitor helps to avoid common pitfalls and ensures that your will is executed as you intend.
Do I need to update my will after writing it?
It is very important to ensure that your will remains up to date. You should attempt to review and potentially update your will every 3-5 years, or after any major life event such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child or the acquisition of significant assets. This ensures that your will always reflects your current circumstances and wishes, and that any alterations to your estate are correctly listed.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you die before you write a will, referred to as dying ‘intestate’, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. This means the law sets out who will inherit your assets according to a strictly ranked list of relatives. This may not align with your wishes and might also result in your family paying more Inheritance Tax than necessary. If you have no family, ultimately the Crown would receive your assets. This situation would also occur if your Will fails because it has not been correctly prepared.
Are digital assets included in my will?
Digital assets include online accounts and digital currencies. It is important to consider your digital assets when you write a will, but they require special consideration. You must provide clear instructions on how these assets are to be accessed and handled, as well as any wishes for their distribution. Our solicitors can provide guidance on how to include these assets when you write a will, and the necessary instructions you must provide for your executors and beneficiaries.
