Will Writing in East Grinstead

Our dedicated team at Wills in Plain English provide trusted Will writing in East Grinstead and the surrounding areas. We help you protect your family and their future with confidence. You can have peace of mind in knowing that our team of specialists have over 30 years of experience and a full membership of the Society of Will Writers.

We focus solely on Will writing and estate planning unlike solicitors who offer a wide range of legal services. We ensure your wishes are written clearly and are legally valid whether you are making your first Will, updating an existing one or dealing with a more complex estate.

Why Make a Will?

A Will is the only way to be sure your wishes are met and your family is protected when you are no longer able to speak for yourself. Putting a Will in place allows you to:

  • Decide who inherits your estate
  • Choose guardians for children or pets
  • Organise your funeral requirements
  • Plan for inheritance tax
  • Remove stress and confusion for loved ones

Without a Will, the law decides who inherits your estate. This can cause unnecessary problems, especially for unmarried couples, blended families, stepchildren or more complex family situations.

A clear Will also helps protect vulnerable family members, supports charitable gifts and ensures sentimental items go to the right people. Clear instructions reduce uncertainty and help avoid disputes later on.

Our Practice Areas

With personal service and professional support, we will walk you through the whole process from an initial confidential conversation about what you need to consider, to taking your instructions and then drawing up and helping you to sign and witness your legally enforceable will.

Our Will Writing Approach

We offer a bespoke and professional Will writing service across West Sussex. We begin with a private discussion to understand your requirements and circumstances. We take the time to prepare your Will exactly how you want it, explain each stage clearly and guide you through the process of signing and witnessing. Will writing can seem daunting, but we aim to make the process straightforward and stress-free.

Our Will Writing Process

1. Initial consultation

We start with a confidential conversation to understand your circumstances, family situation, assests and wishes.

2. Advice and recommendations

We'll explain the options available to you in plain English, including anything you may need to consider around beneficiaries, executors, guardians, trusts or inheritance tax.

3. Preparing your Will

Your Will is drafted around your individual circumstances and the wishes you've discussed with us.

4. Reviewing your Will

We'll go through the document with you and explain anything you're unsure about before you sign.

5. Signing and witnessing

We'll guide you through the correct signing and witnessing process so your Will is properly executed.

Planning for more than your estate?

A Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) deal with different aspects of your future planning, but both can form an important part of protecting you and your family.

Your Will sets out what should happen to your estate after your death. A Lasting Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

If you're reviewing your Will, it can therefore be worth considering whether you also need an Lasting Power of Attorney.

If you need help with writing your Will, powers of attorney or need advice on estate planning, we’re here to help. Contact us at contact@willsinplainenglish.co.uk or call 07935 219228 to get started.
