Why Having a Will Matters

A legally valid will ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes and helps reduce uncertainty for your family. Without a will, intestacy rules determine how property, savings and possessions are divided, which may not reflect your intentions. Many people in Eastleigh choose will writing services to protect children, appoint trusted executors, provide for unmarried partners and reduce the risk of family disputes after death.

Can Unmarried Partners Inherit Without a Will?

Unmarried partners do not inherit automatically under the rules of intestacy in England and Wales. Intestacy distributes an estate according to a statutory order of relatives, which can exclude a long term partner entirely. Will writing allows a person to leave property, savings and personal possessions to an unmarried partner through clear legal instructions. A will also allows the appointment of executors who can administer the estate according to those wishes.

Why Appoint Executors in Your Will?

Executors administer an estate after death. Their responsibilities include collecting assets, settling liabilities, applying for probate and distributing inheritances to beneficiaries. Will writing allows a person to choose who carries out those duties rather than relying on statutory processes. Many people appoint a spouse, adult child, relative or trusted friend, depending on the size and complexity of the estate.

Mirror Wills for Married Couples and Civil Partners

Mirror wills are separate legal documents that contain similar instructions for each partner. Married couples and civil partners often use mirror wills when they want assets to pass to the surviving partner before reaching children or other beneficiaries. Each person retains control of their own will and can review it if circumstances change.

When Should You Update Your Will?

Updating a will becomes necessary when family or financial circumstances change. Marriage, divorce, the birth of children, the death of a beneficiary, a property purchase or a significant change in assets can all affect existing instructions. Regular reviews help ensure that beneficiaries, executors and guardians continue to reflect current wishes.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will?

Dying without a will places an estate under the rules of intestacy. Intestacy determines who inherits assets and who can administer the estate. The statutory distribution process may not reflect a person's wishes, particularly where unmarried partners, stepchildren or blended families are involved. Will writing creates clear instructions for beneficiaries, executors and guardians.

Do You Provide Home Visits Across Eastleigh?

Home visits are available throughout Eastleigh and surrounding communities including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke, Boyatt Wood, Fair Oak and Allbrook. Appointments take place in the client's home and cover will writing, Lasting Powers of Attorney and estate planning matters.

My mother is a resident at Sway Place Care Home and she needed to update her Will. Having read the excellent reviews on-line, we chose to use the services of New Forest Wills, which also had the added convenience of being local. Russell visited my mother at the Care Home and she immediately felt at ease with him. He took the time to explain the procedure clearly and documented my mother's wishes in what was a straightforward process. We received the Will back from Legal & Contract Services Ltd without any changes necessary and both he and his wife kindly witnessed her signing it at the Care Home. New Forest Wills certainly justifies our 5 star review for Russell's personable and professional service and value for money and we would thoroughly recommend it.

My husband & I used New Forest Wills to update our wills last year, something we had kept putting off because we didn’t have the time, but It was so simple, Russ came to our home, he was friendly & professional providing an excellent service at a great price.
I was so impressed that I persuaded my 85 yr old mum to use Russ to get her Lasting power of attorney done, she didn’t want a strange man going to her home but as soon as Russ had left, she phoned me to tell me what a lovely man he was and how he explained everything to her & it was cheaper than she expected, this is high praise indeed.
I highly recommend Russ at NF Wills

I had not made any provision for writing a will, so I was very pleased to have a visit from Russell who spent time considering the best option for my requirements. The process was very carefully thought through and professional, and I now feel a great deal of relief that my will is now in place. I would highly recommend New Forest Wills to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective service.
