MWG’s will writing solicitors in Manchester help you plan what should happen to your money, property and possessions after your death. We provide a will writing service for people making their first will and those updating existing arrangements.
If you die without a valid will, the intestacy rules determine who inherits the assets that fall into your estate. These rules may not reflect your wishes, particularly if you have an unmarried partner or a blended family. A carefully prepared will helps you record your intentions and consider the needs of your beneficiaries.
Our will writing service helps you record your wishes clearly and consider the people who depend on you. We can discuss your assets, intended beneficiaries, executors and any family circumstances that need particular care. Advice on this page concerns England and Wales.
Not every asset passes under a will. Joint ownership, pension nominations, trusts and assets overseas can require separate consideration. Tell us about these at the outset so that the advice and scope of work reflect your circumstances.
A single will records one person’s wishes. Couples may choose mirror wills with similar provisions, but each person has a separate will and individual circumstances still matter. Similar wording does not mean the survivor is automatically prevented from changing their own will later. Ask us about suitable options if protecting children from an earlier relationship is a concern.
Prepare a list of your main assets and debts, the full names of your intended beneficiaries and executors, and details of children or other dependants. Bring your existing will if you have one. Tell us about business interests, property abroad, trusts or any concern about excluding someone who may expect financial support.
Review your wishes after significant life changes such as marriage, civil partnership, separation, divorce, the birth of a child or a major change in assets. The legal effect of these events differs, so seek advice rather than assuming an old will still produces the result you intend. A change may require a new will or a properly executed codicil.
The cost depends on the type of will and the advice required. See the fee information below and ask us to confirm the current total, including VAT, the work included and any additional costs before instructing us. More complex family, trust or overseas issues may require a separate estimate.
