Wills Online - How to make a
tenminute will
Making a will in England is relatively straigtforward.
At Wills - Home we will advise how much it costs to make a will, how to make a will in the UK or wills in England, the process of making a will and many other questions.
A Will is a legal document in
which you state what you would like to happen to your estate. Your
estate consists of your house (less any outstanding mortgage or
other loans secured on it), cash and savings, your car, household
and personal effects, proceeds from any life assurance policies and
pensions where there isn't a named beneficiary or the plans are not
written in trust LESS any outstanding loans, credit card balances,
household bills, funeral expenses, etc.
If the gross
value of the total estate is less than £5,000 (England and Wales)
or £25,000 before debts (Scotland) it is called a "small estate"
and can be distributed without a Grant of Probate or Confirmation
of the Estate.
However, it
doesn't matter how little you think you are worth, it is important
that you make a Will. Without a Will, your relatives and friends
could face severe difficulties. And, although you may not like it,
if you don't make a Will the law will decide for you, which may not
be what you would have wished. You must sign and date your Will in
the presence of two witnesses (England and Wales) or one witness
(Scotland).
You must
appoint an executor in your Will to
ensure the terms of your Will are carried out. Sometimes one
executor is sufficient but where there are potential beneficiaries
who are not yet 18, then two executors are advisable. The
executor's role is explained further below.

When should I make a
Will?
Well the quick answer is, now!
Basically it is never too soon.
Making a Will is particularly
important if you are anticipating marriage or a civil Wpartnership,
having a child, getting divorced or remarried. Also, buying a
property or having assets or investments that you would like to
decide in advance who gets what.
In England and Wales, your will
becomes invalid when you become married or enter into a civil
partnership, unless the Will clearly stated that it was written in
anticipation of you marrying or entering into a civil partnership
with a named person. You can make a will immediately online by

If you become divorced then your
former spouse or civil partner, if included in your Will, would be
treated as having died before. Therefore, if your previous Will
said that everything was to go to your spouse but if he/she died
before you then everything was to go to your children. Now you are
divorced, your former spouse will be ignored (treated as having
predeceased you) and, in this example, everything will go to your
children.
Every five years you should
review your Will. Changes that should trigger a review of your Will
include any changes in your financial, marital or emotional
circumstances. Your family and friendships can change and your Will
ought to reflect these changes.
You can either draw up a new
Will or add clauses to your existing Will through a codicil. Drawing up a new Will is
more advisable and may be no more expensive. If you draw up a new
Will you will need to destroy the old one so as to avoid confusion
in the future.
With TenMinute
Will, should you choose the more comprehensive WillPlus service, then any
future changes to your Will are completely free of charge. And each
time a totally new Will is written for you. This thereby avoids the
need for a separate and sometimes contentious codicil.
Firstly it is simply not necessary
to incur the costs involved with using a solicitor to Make a
Will!
Then again making a will entirely
yourself is NOT to be recommended either! If you are tempted to use
DIY Will forms, PLEASE think again!. The whole point of Making a
Will is to ensure your estate goes to the people you want it to go
to. One small mistake could jeopardise that wish. If you make a DIY
Will or use one of the many available DIY Will "forms" you may save
a few quid at outset but the cost to your beneficiaries or estate
could be huge.
So why Make your Will Online - well, two
reasons.
1. Fast - but avoid those who do NOT
let you print the Will immediately.

they may charge you for future changes. ask yourself WHY its so
