Why You Need a Will in the UK


A properly drafted Will is one of the most important legal documents you can create. By drafting a Will in the UK, you make sure your estate is distributed according to your wishes, rather than relying on intestacy laws. This process also ensures your family is cared for, disputes are avoided, and your executors have the authority they need to act. Without a legally valid Will, your assets may not go to the people you intended, which is why professional advice on Will drafting and writing services is so essential.

Creating a Will ensures that:

  • Your estate is distributed as you desire
  • You can appoint guardians for your children
  • You can protect your loved ones from potential inheritance disputes
  • You choose executors who will carry out your wishes
  • You reduce the risk of unnecessary taxation or complications for your beneficiaries

Why Having a Will is Essential in the UK

Having a professionally drafted Will ensures your assets go where you want them to and protects your family’s future. By drafting a Will with a lawyer, you reduce the risk of disputes, minimise inheritance tax, and safeguard your estate against challenges. Creating a Will is not just about paperwork — it’s about ensuring your legacy is secure and your loved ones are cared for exactly as you intended.

A properly executed Will is crucial in ensuring that your assets go to the people you want and that your loved ones aren’t left facing unnecessary legal or financial challenges after your death. Without a Will, your estate will be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.

Creating a Will also helps:

  • Prevent disputes among family members
  • Ensure your children are looked after by trusted guardians
  • Minimise inheritance tax and estate administration costs

FAQs About UK Wills


Got questions about writing a will or planning your estate? MAR Legal answers the most common questions to help you protect your family and assets.

Yes. Without drafting a Will, your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. This could mean loved ones are left out or face disputes. By creating a Will with MAR Legal, you ensure your estate is handled exactly as you intended.

If you die without drafting a valid Will, the law decides who inherits your estate. This usually follows a fixed order — spouse, children, or other relatives — which may not match your wishes. Unmarried partners, stepchildren, and friends will not inherit unless named in a Will. Professional Will drafting services ensure your estate goes to the people you choose.

You can, but homemade Wills are often challenged or found invalid due to errors. To ensure your wishes are legally binding, it is safer to use professional lawyers experienced in drafting Wills. At MAR Legal, our Will writing and drafting services guarantee your Will is prepared correctly, giving you peace of mind.


A Will sets out who gets what when you die. Estate planning is broader and may include trusts, inheritance tax planning, powers of attorney, and protecting family wealth. By drafting a Will as part of your overall estate planning, you ensure your assets are passed on exactly as intended, with professional advice to minimise disputes and tax issues.

Yes. Creating a Will is not just for the elderly. If you own property, have savings, or children, it’s important to have a clear plan in place. Professional Will drafting services give you peace of mind that your estate will be managed properly, whatever happens in the future.

Yes. You can update or amend your Will at any time, provided you have mental capacity. Major life events such as marriage, divorce, or having children are ideal times to review your Will. Our lawyers make drafting or updating a Will straightforward, ensuring your document always reflects your current wishes.

When drafting a Will, you can name legal guardians, set up trusts, and decide the age at which children should inherit. Without this, the courts may decide who looks after them and how their inheritance is managed. Professional Will drafting ensures your children’s future is secure.

A trust can hold assets on behalf of someone else, such as a child or vulnerable adult. It can help control how money is used and protect it from taxes, care fees, or divorce claims. Including a trust when creating or drafting your Will can form an important part of wider estate planning

Costs vary based on complexity. A simple Will typically starts from a few hundred pounds. More detailed Will drafting and estate planning services may cost more, but professional advice can save your family thousands in legal fees or inheritance tax in the long run. By drafting a Will with MAR Legal, you know exactly what you’re paying for with no hidden costs.

Absolutely. We provide tailored advice on drafting Wills, setting up trusts, lifetime gifts, and strategies to reduce inheritance tax (IHT). Our experienced lawyers ensure your estate is managed efficiently and your family is protected. Contact us for a personalised consultation on Will drafting and estate planning.
