Wills and Probate
Making a Will
Choosing to make a Will is an important decision which can bring peace of mind to you, as well as reducing the level of hardship placed on your loved ones after your death. Leaving a valid Will can smooth the way for those who are left behind and need to deal with the administration of your Estate.
Without clear and valid instructions in a Will, you run a significant risk of your estate being distributed in a way that you do not wish. Considering the terms of your Will is hugely important and at Gales we aim to offer practical advice to make the Will-making process as straight forward as possible.
