Do I need to be a member?
Thousands of legal documents every week.

Many people think that you must register your Will in order for it to be legally valid. In fact, the document needs to be printed and then signed in the presence of two witnesses to be a legal Last Will and Testament. There is no facility in the UK for registering a Will while you are still alive. Once you have died, the document is probated, and then registered with the probate courts. While you are alive you should store the document somewhere safe, that is known and accessible to your Executor.
We know that most people have not written their Will. These people fall into two camps; the group who think it’s important, but haven’t got around to it yet, but hopefully they will write a Will at some time in the future. The second group are those who have the “why do I care? I’ll be dead anyway” approach. Although they’ve hopefully spent their life thinking of other people, they feel content simply letting their family and loved ones sort everything out once they are gone.
Unfortunately, they don’t understand that taking just 20 minutes now, can save their family from distress, acrimony, family feuds, and potentially expensive legal battles.
Surely I’m overstating the impact of not having a Will? Let me explain ten good reasons why you should write a Will today, based on our 15 years of experience in dealing with distraught family members whose loved one died without a Will in place.
