Advice on Writing Wills

My gran has made a will with a company online recently,  after a family disagreement she has been told to rip it up but this wont cancel out the will ? will it ? Please advise.


Please use http://writing.wills.org.uk for information relating to will writing. Thank you

tenants in common

I am now in a position of tenants in common the house is up for sale but she will not talk to me about lowering the price only a solicitor. Can i sell my share of the property if so how do i go about this?


A: use www.tenants-in-common.co.uk they should be able to help.

more beneficaries

I have a slightly more complex will request than your form allows (and more beneficaries).  Is it still possible to complete this with you?



For instance, I would like my partner to have a certain percentage of my estate providing he outlives me by say 1 week (i.e. don't die in same accident ).


A: Yes you can do this with you Will.

learning disability Wills?

Would someone who has a learning disability be able to complete a will, possibly with help from family or carers?


A: Yes

online legality?

Having just losing my uncle without a will my mother wants to get a will in place but she is dubious about completing one online and the legality of it as it will be a case of leaving everything to her only son - what do you think?


A:  You should write a will. Using a service like www.Wills.org.uk or www.InternetWIll.co.uk means that the will is checked by a UK Will writer.


 

When can you legally make a will ?

Is there a minimum age at which you can legally make a will ?

Living in London but legally married to a British man

I am Spanish living in London and married to a British man. I own a flat in London. I don' t have a will. Do I need to write a will so that my flat and savings go to my husband in the case of death? does he need to write a will so that his properties go to me? If so, is this somthing we can do over the web and how much is it? If we went to live to Spain, would this will be valid? we are planning on moving in 4 years.


A:  Sorry we can not do spanish Wills.




surrogacy arrangement

Hi. we have looked at your form and will probably ask you you to complete our wills for us.  However, our circumstances are unusual and may not fit the standard entries on the form so wonder if you could give us any particular advice.  We are aged 48 and 54 respectively, have not been able to have children, but are about to enter a surrogacy arrangement whereby we hope to have a child through surrogacy.  In our will we want to make it clear that if the child is born, he or she would be main beneficiary if both of us died. Also that our surrogate mother and her husband should become guardians of the child should we both die.  Would appreciate a reply by phone or email.  Thanks.


as a joint will it states what is to happen when we both die, what happens if one of us dies before the other? does it need writing somewhere that everything is left to the serviving party?



my husband and i have 3 houses worth in total 450,000 and also life policys of 200,00 each and joint 215,000.  how do we work it to we dont pay inheritance tax on it?
