Finalising the will
Once you’ve completed the process, rest-easy knowing that you and your loved ones are protected. Writing a will is a vital aspect of estate planning, and working with a reputable firm like Slater Heelis can ensure that your wishes are legally documented and protected. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can expect a smooth and productive experience when meeting with our legal experts to write your will. Remember that a well-crafted will provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and your assets distributed as you intend.
After the will is drafted, you will have the opportunity to review and make any necessary revisions. Here’s what to expect during this phase: • Reviewing your draft will: Depending on your preferences, we will either email or post a copy of your draft will to review and address any questions or concerns. • Revisions: If you want to make changes, your solicitor will discuss your changes and make the necessary revisions and provide an updated draft for your review. • Approval: Once you are satisfied with the contents, you will approve the final version of the will and be invited to the offices to sign the documents in front of two independent witnesses. We will provide the witnesses. After your will is finalised, Slater Heelis will assist with the safekeeping and distribution of copies: • Safe Storage: The firm will keep your will (the original, signed document) in a secure location. • Providing Copies: You will receive copies of the will to keep with your important documents. • Informing Executors: Slater Heelis can inform your chosen executor of their role and responsibilities.
