Can I do it myself?
– Why should I consult a solicitor?
You can make a Will yourself but there are strict requirements to ensure that a Will is valid and cannot be contested later on. Also, if the meaning of a Will is unclear, this may give rise to expensive disputes and delay.
If a Will is invalid or ambiguous, your family may not know about it until it is too late and may prevent your wishes being carried out. Why take a chance?
Solicitors are qualified to take an overall and detached view of what suits your particular circumstances and to ensure that all the formalities are complied with and that the meaning of your Will is clear and unambiguous.
