Secure Your Legacy: Expert Will Writing in Cheshire

Writing a will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are provided for. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in helping Cheshire residents create legally sound wills that protect their assets and reflect their intentions.

We understand that thinking about a will can feel daunting, but our experienced team makes the process straightforward, affordable, and tailored to your needs. Whether you want to provide for family, appoint guardians for children, or support a charity, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Will writing: The statistics

Creating a will is vital, yet many people delay or overlook this essential task. In Cheshire, with its ageing population and affluent communities, the need for proper estate planning is particularly significant. According to available data:

• Across the UK, 59% of adults do not have a will, according to a 2023 YouGov survey, with similar trends in Cheshire’s urban areas like Warrington and Chester.
• In Cheshire East, where the median age is 45 (Census 2021), only 45% of residents over 50 have a valid will, despite the area’s high property values.
• Nationally, 1 in 5 estates over £325,000 face avoidable inheritance tax due to lack of a will or poor planning, a concern for Cheshire’s affluent “Golden Triangle” residents.
• Without a will, Cheshire families face an average of £9,000 in legal costs and six months’ delay to settle estates under intestacy rules, per 2022 probate data.

These figures highlight the importance of a professionally drafted will. Marley Solicitors helps Cheshire residents avoid these pitfalls, ensuring peace of mind and clarity for their families.

How we can help you

A will ensures your money, property, and possessions go to the people or causes you care about. Without one, intestacy rules may distribute your estate in ways you wouldn’t choose. Marley Solicitors offers comprehensive will writing services, including:

• Personalised will drafting: Tailored to your wishes, covering assets, beneficiaries, and guardians for children.
• Inheritance tax planning: Advice to minimise tax burdens, especially for Cheshire’s high-value estates.
• Trusts: Setting up trusts to protect assets or provide for vulnerable beneficiaries.
• Will updates: Amending existing wills via codicils or drafting new ones after life changes like marriage or divorce.
• Secure storage: Safe storage options to ensure your will is protected and accessible when needed.

We recommend reviewing your will every 3–5 years or after major life events. Our team will draft, review, and finalise your will, ensuring it’s legally sound and registered correctly.

Act now: Creating a will takes just a few steps and can save your loved ones time, stress, and expense. Contact us today.
