Wills & Probate

Return to Areas of Practice

We are involved in drafting wills for people of all ages and backgrounds, and suitable to all situations and circumstances, to provide what happens to their estate and property after their death. Particularly where couples with young children need to provide for any eventuality, which may occur, to ensure that their children will always be properly cared for.

All Testators must be aged 18 years or over, or have been married and be of sound mind. The Will must be signed at the end by the Testator and a minimum of two witnesses must be present at the time when the Testator signs the Will and then the witnesses must sign in the presence of the Testator and usually, but not necessarily, in the presence of each other. All Wills must be dated.
