Wills Solicitors Bolton Warn of the Risks of Homemade Wills




If you want to make sure that your preferences with respect to the distribution your estate are NOT followed, making use of a homemade will is a good place to start. It’s astonishing how many people don’t take wills seriously. Wills Solicitors Bolton argue that a Will not only represents your preferences in terms of your estate, it also represents who you are and everything you have achieved in your life. You also leave behind a statement of what was most important to you after you have departed.
Home Made Wills; what are the Risks?
Even if you did leave behind a crisply typed and signed document stating your intentions and preferences regarding your estate, there is no way of actually proving that the document was made by you or someone else. And of course such documents may represent what you want to your family, but the court might not agree. And eventually an “invalid” will is over ruled by the laws of intestacy. Intestacy rules are the same for all, and if you can forget about leaving something special for your favourite child!
How much can you save?
You might save £200, but you will leave behind a conflict that might cost your loved ones thousands to resolve. Hiring Wills Solicitors Bolton is inevitable, either you do it for drafting a legally valid will or your family will need them to fight their legal battles after you die. So choose wisely.
