- Secure storage of the completed will.

Q: How long does the will writing process take?
A: The duration of the will writing process can vary. Typically, a straightforward will might be completed in a few weeks, whereas more complex arrangements might take longer. We strive to work efficiently to ensure your will is prepared as promptly as possible while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
Q: Can I update my will once it is written?
A: Absolutely, it is important to update your will periodically to reflect changes in your life such as marriage, the birth of children, or a change in financial circumstances. Origin Wills offers a will review and update service to ensure that your will always aligns with your current wishes.
Q: What should I consider when choosing a trustee for my will?
A: Choosing a trustee is a significant decision. Consider factors such as the trustworthiness, financial stability, and willingness of the individual to act in this capacity. It’s also wise to discuss their potential responsibilities with them in advance to ensure they are willing and prepared to take on this role.
Q: How do I ensure my will is legally valid?
A: To ensure your will is legally valid, it must be written and signed in accordance with the laws governing wills in the UK. This includes being of sound mind at the time of drafting and having the will witnessed by two individuals who are not beneficiaries. Origin Wills ensures that all these legal requirements are met.
Q: What happens if I die without a will?
A: Dying without a will (intestate) means the rules of intestacy will distribute your estate. This might not align with your actual wishes and can often lead to complicated legal challenges. Therefore, we strongly recommend setting up a will to clearly articulate your desires.
Q: Why is having a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) important?
A: Having an LPA in place is crucial because it authorises someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. This could relate to financial matters, health care decisions, or both, depending on the type of LPA. It’s a safeguard that protects your interests even if you are unable to express your wishes.
Q: Can Origin Wills handle complex wills involving business interests or overseas assets?
A: Yes, Origin Wills has extensive experience in handling complex wills involving business interests, overseas assets, and other unique elements. Our expert team offers tailored advice to ensure we manage all aspects of your estate according to your wishes.
