Wills - Can I write my own? |
You can make a will yourself if you wish; printed will forms are available from stationers. There is no requirement that a solicitor draft a will. However, it is not in your best interests to draft your will yourself. |
There have been very many cases where home-made wills were unclear, not properly drawn up or caused an unwanted tax liability. |
Many of these cases end up in the courts and they can carry on for years, causing distress and perhaps hardship to the family of the deceased. |
In general, solicitors do not charge a large fee for making a will, and since it is one of the most important legal documents you will ever make, it is false economy to try to do it without skilled professional advice. |
