Will Writing Service in Brighton

Will Writing Service in Sussex

Wills in Plain English provides a friendly and reliable Will writing service in Brighton and the wider Sussex area. We have over 30 years of experience and hold full membership of the Society of Will Writers. We make the process clear and free from jargon so that you can make important legal decisions with confidence.

Whether you are creating a Will for the first time or updating one you already have, we offer straightforward, step-by-step guidance. Our aim is to help you protect the people and things that matter most and to give you complete peace of mind. We record your wishes accurately and with your best interests at the forefront of our process.

Why Make a Will?

When you have a Will, you can feel confident knowing all parties will follow your instructions after death. It gives you the chance to:

  • Decide who will benefit from your estate
  • Appoint guardians for your children
  • Record your preferences for funeral arrangements
  • Take steps to reduce inheritance tax where possible
  • Prevent stress, delays and confusion for your family

If you pass away without a valid Will, the law will decide how your estate is divided. This may not reflect your preferences and can cause complications for unmarried couples or blended families.

A Will can also help you plan for future events and give more guidance to members of your family. This could be leaving gifts to charities and protecting vulnerable relatives. This responsible financial planning can give everyone involved a clear understanding of your intentions.

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.

Wills and Estate Planning

Our Will writing service is personal and adapted to suit your circumstances. We can assist with a range of legal services including:

  • Simple and complex Wills
  • Trusts and protection of assets
  • Inheritance tax planning

We can also help with special considerations, such as managing family businesses, property in multiple locations, or shared estates. Planning ahead and securing your assets can help reduce unnecessary family disputes. It also helps you share your estate fairly and efficiently, according to your wishes.

Estate planning goes hand-in-hand with preparing for unforeseen events. By addressing your finances, property and personal wishes now, you can reduce the risk of complications.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Lasting Powers of Attorney allow someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. The two main types to consider are:

  • Property and Financial Affairs: Enables your attorney to manage your bills, finances and handle selling your home.
  • Health and Welfare: Includes everyday personal care, medical treatment and decisions about life-sustaining care.
