How We Can Help

Financial Protection for Spouses and Immediate Family

When somebody dies without making a will, the intestacy rules often fail to provide for their family as they would wish. With our will writing service, clients are given advice which helps them discover their options, express their priorities and provide clear instructions, ensuring that their wishes will be carried out.

Appointing Executors

By writing a will, an individual has the opportunity to choose the right people to manage their estate after their death. This is an important part of the will drafting process as it can help to prevent disagreements between family members at an emotionally difficult time.

In addition to our will writing service, Gillhams offers a professional executorship service, allowing clients to appoint one of our partners as an executor. With years of experience in administering estates and in resolving the complications which may arise, our professional executors can benefit clients' estates and provide expert support for any family members and friends that they may also wish to appoint.

Appointing Guardians for Children

A will allows parents to set out who should care for their children in the event that they both die. We advise clients about this as part of our will writing service.

Provide for Unmarried Partners

Unmarried and non-civil partners are not provided for under the intestacy rules. So an important part of the will writing service is to ensure that both partners' wishes are set out and can be followed upon their death.

Account for Remarriage and Two Families

A well-drafted will can ensure that the interests of all an individual's loved ones are protected in cases where, for instance, they have children from a previous relationship. This is all part of our will writing service.

Legacies for Friends, Relatives and Charities

Within the Gillhams will writing service, we ensure that all of our clients' post-death wishes are accounted for, including any gifts to people and organisations beyond their immediate blood relatives such as friends and charities.
