Solicitors specialising in wills and probate
Will writing and associated services
Making a will can give you the peace of mind that your property and your business will be managed appropriately after you are gone. It can also help you decide how your property should be split among your family members after you die. If you die without a will, the law of intestacy will decide the entitlement, which may not be in accordance with your wishes.
It's never too late to make a will. Contact Holmes & Moffitt today. We can prepare your will and provide specialist advice on estate planning so you can distribute your assets in the most tax efficient manner.
Your will and probate lawyers in Belfast
You can choose how your family will benefit. It is particularly important for separated, divorced and unmarried individuals to make wills as the law of intestacy may not distribute your assets in accordance with your wishes. We can write a will for you. However, to write a will, we need the following details:
Property law
- Approximate details of your assets so that life policies and pensions payable on death can be included
- Details of any bequests and details of the main beneficiaries and substitute beneficiaries of your will
- Names and addresses of people that are able and willing to act as executors and trustees if any of your beneficiaries are under the age of 18
