Wills
Writing a will is an act of responsibility and love, it ensures the assets you've built are distributed exactly as you wish, and spares your loved ones needless, painful disputes. Here, good guidance is worth its weight in gold.
I draft a clear, precise will that is as resistant to challenge as possible, and tailor it exactly to your wishes and family structure, including mutual wills between spouses. I also assist in updating or revoking an existing will.
You can then rest assured that what truly matters to you is anchored, and your family is protected.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a will?
A will gives you full control over how your assets are distributed and prevents disputes. Without one, assets are split by fixed rules that don't always match your wishes. Even younger people sometimes have good reasons to write one.
What is a mutual will?
A mutual will is made between spouses and lets them coordinate the distribution of their assets, for example, so the estate passes to the spouse and then to the children. It has special rules, and I explain the advantages and implications.
Can a will be changed after it's written?
Yes, a person may change their will at any time. A mutual will has special rules for amendment or revocation, and I guide you through the process so it's done properly.
How do we make sure the will won't be invalidated?
Professional drafting, meeting the formal requirements and proper deposit greatly reduce the risk of challenge. That's exactly why it's important to draft your will with a lawyer.
