Making a Will
Making a Will is a crucial legal responsibility that ensures your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are protected. At Burgess Thomson, we understand the significance of this legal document and the importance of making it clear, valid, and conflict-free.
Our Wills and Estate Lawyers know the potential pitfalls, and will ask you all the right questions to make sure that you have considered every possibility. We can advise you as to whether you would be best with a Will or a Testamentary Trust. We can design your Will in such a way to help protect your family from expensive estate litigation after your death and we can safely store your Will in our secure vault.
Legally Sound and Valid
Creating a Will requires careful consideration of your assets, circumstances, and beneficiaries. Our experienced team comprehends the intricacies involved and can guide you through the process, ensuring that your wishes are legally valid and binding.
A valid Will requires proper signing and witnessing, and it is crucial for the testator to be mentally competent at the time of decision-making. Rest assured, our team ensures that the legal formalities are met for a robust and enforceable Will.
Regularly Reviewed and Updated
A Will is a living document that should be periodically reviewed, particularly when significant life events occur, such as property acquisitions, the birth of children and grandchildren, or other impactful changes. Burgess Thomson recommends revisiting your Will every few years to ensure it accurately reflects your intentions. We can help with these regular review.
