Atterbury Payne Solicitors

Wills.

Plan ahead with confidence. Our team can help you ensure your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are protected after you’re gone.

A Will lets you decide how your assets will be distributed and who will care for your children if you’re no longer here. It’s a vital part of planning for the future — ensuring your wishes are respected and giving peace of mind to you and your loved ones.

Client Hub Journey

What is a Will?

Life is uncertain. We never know what’s around the corner. A properly drafted Will ensures your assets go to the people you choose, your children are cared for by those you trust, and your wishes are carried out legally and efficiently.

Why should I create a Will?

Some reasons that to create a will are that you:
  • Want to plan ahead for your family’s future and protect your loved ones
  • Are supporting elderly parents or relatives and understand the importance of preparation
  • Have received a diagnosis of a serious illness or life-changing condition
  • Run a business and want to ensure continuity and proper succession planning

The whole process was very easy...

The whole process was very easy, everything online and I was able to make changes to it. I decided to sign in person (could have done it online but preferred a proper pen in my hand) – which was also easy. Very happy to recommend their services!

Mr G

We received a fast, efficient and effective service...

My wife and I used Atterbury Payne to advise on and prepare our wills and powers of attorney. We received a fast, efficient and effective service from them. Their staff were exceedingly friendly and highly professional. Highly recommended.

Mr F

They understood what we wanted to achieve...

We would definitely highly recommend Lindsey. She understood what we wanted to achieve in our wills, and dealt with it in a straightforward manner. Also at a very reasonable cost.

Helping You Make Sense of Wills.

What happens if I die without a will

When someone dies without a Will (called dying “intestate”), the law decides who inherits your assets – which may not reflect your wishes. Assets could go to relatives you did not intend to benefit, and there is currently no provision for unmarried partners.

How often should I update my Will?

You should review your Will every 3-5 years or when major life changes occur such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or moving house. Small changes can be made by a codicil, whilst larger changes may require a new Will entirely.

Let's talk.

We know that making a Will can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your wishes and answer your questions.
