Is there anything I should prepare before contacting you?
1
There is nothing formal you need to do – as a general rule there are usually six key issues you should think about:
- Specific ‘gift list’ - the full names, addresses, dates of birth and details of the ‘gift’ (i.e. an item or a sum of money) you want to leave to people in your Will
- Charity – if you would like to make a gift to a charity you will need to double check the name and address
- Everything else - after your specific gifts what is the full name, address and date of birth of those you would like to receive everything else i.e. your partner or your children
- Children under 18 – you need to decide who you would like to appoint as guardian to your children if both parents were to die
- Your funeral wishes - your preference to burial or cremation and any religious requirements
- Legal responsibility for enforcing your Will – who is this? A friend or relative or would you like your solicitor to fulfil this role
