The Christmas season is a time for giving, and what could be more important than giving your loved ones peace of mind in knowing that you have taken care of everything in the event of your death? Will Writing and Estate Planning are two essential steps to take to ensure that your wishes are carried out after you’re gone. Here at SLS Wills and More, we offer Will Writing services throughout Kent and in fact further afield with clients across England and Wales.
Our Will Writing team is led by Sara Sheppard – a Will Writer with over 35 years of experience, who is TEP qualified, a member of the Society of Will Writers and who is a specialist in estate planning. She can help make sure that your loved ones are taken care of after you’re gone and it’s never more important that at Christmas when we spend time with those we love.
The Importance of Will Writing and Estate Planning
There are a number of reasons why Will writing and estate planning are important. First, if you die without a Will, your assets will be distributed according to the Laws of Intestacy. This means that your assets may not be distributed the way you wanted them to be. Second, if you have minor children (under the age of 18), it is important to have a Will so that you can designate a legal guardian for them. Otherwise, the court will decide who should take care of your children. Third, even if you don’t have minor children, a Will can still be important in terms of distributing your assets the way you want. Lastly, estate planning can help to minimise or mitigate any taxes and other expenses that your estate could be liable for.
What our Will Writing Services can offer you and especially why you should consider it at Christmas
When it comes to Will Writing Services, there are a lot of different things that our company can offer you. We can help you to create a Will, we can help you to update an existing one, and we can even provide you with estate planning services like Lasting Powers of Attorney. However, one of the best things that our company can offer you is peace of mind and we take great pride in that. For some, a simple Will is all you need and we can help draft in the right clauses to ensure your wishes are carried out.
If you’re like most people, the thought of writing your Will can be a bit overwhelming. After all, it’s not something that most of us like to think about or have to do often. We would much rather put it off until later. Unfortunately, this often means that we never get around to it and if something should happen to us, which doesn’t bear thinking about, we need to make sure that our estate can be distributed accordingly.
Whether or not you have a Will, probate may be required. The requirement for probate is based on the value and type of assets you have in your sole name. Having a Will makes it easier to obtain and thus makes it less stressful for your family.
In addition to helping your family, having a Will can also help to ensure that your assets are distributed the way that you want them to be. Without it, your hard-earned money could end up going to someone who you don’t even know, who you have lost touch with, and friends and charities don’t benefit at all.
Making a Will is an important step in ensuring that your wishes are carried out after you die. We’ve never heard anyone regret making a Will and certainly not with SLS Wills and More. At Christmas time, when we are surrounded by our loved ones, it is the perfect time to think about our who we would like to benefit from our assets. Our Will Writing Services can provide you with everything you need to create a legally binding document that reflects your final wishes. Better still, we draft it and ensure it’s signed correctly.
The Benefits of Having a Will at Christmas
When it comes to making important decisions about your future, there is no time like the present (excuse the pun). And if you are thinking about what will happen to your belongings and loved ones after you pass away, then creating a Will is one of the most important things you can do.
While many people put off creating a Will because they think it is morbid or they do not have enough assets to warrant one, the truth is that everyone can benefit from having a Will—no matter how young or old you are, or how much money you have.
One of the biggest benefits of having a Will is that it gives you peace of mind. Knowing that your affairs are in order and that your loved ones will be taken care of according to your wishes can provide a great deal of comfort and security.
Another benefit of having a Will is that it allows you to control how your assets are distributed after you die.
Finally, having a Will can help to avoid family conflict – which is something that often arises at Christmas time after too many sherries. If all of your wishes are clearly laid out in a legal document, there is less room for disagreement and dispute among your loved ones. This can save your family a great deal of heartache and stress during an already difficult time.
If you have been putting off creating a Will, there is no time like the present. The benefits of having one far outweigh the cost and hassle of putting it off until later. So take the first step in protecting your loved ones and your legacy by creating a Will today.
How Our Will Writing Service Can Help You
A Will is a legal document that allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed after your death. Creating a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are carried out.

Creating a Will gives you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of after you’re gone.
