Rated 5 Star on Google Reviews

Everyone should put in place a Will, ready for when we eventually pass. Wills ensure your peace of mind, prevents family arguments and helps loved ones concentrate on grieving — rather than worrying about administrative concerns.

Wills also safeguard the protection of children if they are under the age of 18; you can name a guardian of your choice for your children to live with and be shielded by, until they become an adult.

Why you need a Will

WILL WRITING

A Will acts as your voice once you have passed away, unlike a Power of Attorney which allows others to assist you whilst you’re alive. A Will is a legally binding document which ensures the instructions for who you want to inherit your money, property and assets (your estate) are appropriately managed and followed.

WILL WRITING

Your Will, Your Way

A Will acts as your voice once you have passed away, unlike a Power of Attorney which allows others to assist you whilst you’re alive. A Will is a legally binding document which ensures the instructions for who you want to inherit your money, property and assets (your estate) are appropriately managed and followed.

If a person dies without a Will in place, the law of intestacy will decide on your behalf who inherits your estate, based on your family connections. The rules do not take into account the closeness of your relationships, or who you consider most in need. For example, if you are not married or have not formed a civil partnership, without a Will, your partner will not automatically inherit your estate — regardless of how long you have been together.

What happens if a person does not have a Will?

How does a Will work?

In your Will you appoint one or more Executors — the person or people you want to manage the administration of your estate. Executors also control monies if the people you leave your estate to (the beneficiaries) are under 18. Working on your behalf, your Executors carry out the instructions you have left in your Will.

5* recommendation!

'Recently my elderly mother in law needed a will written. After some research online I contacted Helen Algar at Suffolk Will Services. Helen is really nice, made mum feel at ease straightaway, and the whole service was totally professional. We’re happy to pass on our positive experience with Helen, and recommend Suffolk Will Services without hesitation. Hoping this will help anyone who might be needing a Will written and is putting it off (as we all do!)”

Call to begin our simple Will writing process

How we help

Our process is very simple and designed to ensure you are entirely happy at each stage:


  1. Call to book an appointment for you to visit us, us to visit you in the comfort of your home, or by video call if you prefer.
  2. At the appointment we will discuss every element of your life, family and estate —considering your individual concerns and priorities.
  3. We prepare a draft Will for you to inspect and check. The Will is clearly explained in the covering letter enclosed with your draft Will.
  4. If any changes are needed, these are made at this point and agreed with you.
  5. We then prepare the final version of your Will for you to sign. We can arrange an appointment where we oversee the signing procedure. Alternatively, we can send the Will to you with a straightforward procedure explanation, for you to sign at your convenience.
  6. When the Will has been signed, most clients like us to store the signed Will for them. We provide a photocopy for your records. Alternatively, you can keep the original Will at home; we just ask you send us a photocopy for our records.

Questions to consider

Perhaps you promised a necklace or watch to a friend or family member and want to ensure they receive this item.

Who do they want as their beneficiary?

Some people like to leave a certain amount of money to family, friends, a charity or organisation.

You may want to safeguard your share of your home for your children against a partner or spouse remarrying. Trusts also help mitigate care home fees.

If there are more than one, consider whether each beneficiary will inherit equally, or unequally.

Do you have strong opinions on how you would like your funeral to be conducted? For example, do you want to be cremated or buried in a religious or non-religious ceremony? You can confirm your choices in your Will to ensure your requests are fulfilled.
