It’s so easy to make a Will...

If you’ve been putting off writing a Will, now is a great time to do it. Because we’ve arranged for Hugh James Solicitors to offer our Principality Members a cost-effective, straightforward Will writing service. Writing a Will is the only way to make sure everything turns out as you wish in the future, so it’s important to be sure yours expresses exactly what you want.

Hugh James Solicitors are the largest legal firm working throughout Wales, and they pride themselves on offering practical advice whilst being sensitive to your needs and wishes. That’s why we believe they will help you to make the right provisions for your family, or the friends and charities you want to benefit from your Will. Of course it’s possible to make a Will without the help of a solicitor, but without the right expertise, you might cause your family distress and problems at an already difficult time.

10 reasons to make a Will

  1. To make sure everything turns out as you want
  2. To protect your partner if you are not married
  3. To appoint people you trust as guardians for your children
  4. To choose executors and trustees to carry out your wishes
  5. To save on inheritance tax
  6. To protect disabled dependants
  7. To protect your family or heirs from claims against them
  8. To protect your children from inheriting at too young an age
  9. To ensure the people you choose inherit if both you and your partner die together
  10. To protect the people you love from extra problems at an already sad time
