Wills, in plain English.
A will says who inherits what you own when you die, and who looks after your children. It also names who is in charge of carrying it out: your executors.
Without a will the intestacy rules decide for you. An unmarried partner inherits nothing under those rules, and step-children inherit nothing unless adopted.
Aaron writes wills in plain English and supervises the signing so the will is valid. A will with a trust inside it costs more than a straightforward one, and only earns its place in some circumstances.

What people ask about wills.
These answers are general information about the law of England and Wales, not legal advice. They state the law as at October 2026. Each case is assessed on its own merits.
Do I need a standard will, a will with a trust in it, or trust and estate planning?
A standard will is right for most people. It says who inherits, who is in charge and who looks after children. A will with a trust in it suits a second marriage or children from a previous relationship. A couple can also use one to ring-fence the first to die’s share for their children, whatever happens later. Both are fixed fees. Trust and estate planning is different work. It is for people whose estate includes a business, a farm or more than one property. It also suits an estate over the inheritance tax threshold, or a trust to set up or run. Aaron can do that work alongside your accountant or financial adviser. The will is part of that plan. Most of that work is at fixed fees listed on the fees page, and Aaron confirms the total at a free call. The Plan Finder asks the questions that decide which of the three you need, and says why.

How much does a will cost?
Every will is a fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts. There is no hourly billing. A single will costs less than mirror wills for a couple, and a will with a trust in it costs more than a standard will. The figures are on the fees page, and Aaron confirms the fee for your situation at the free 15-minute call.

Do I need a solicitor to write my will, or can I use a template?
You can legally write your own will. The costly mistakes happen in home-made and online-template wills. The usual ones are wrong witnessing, unclear wording and clauses that do not do what you intended. Aaron is a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, so your will is drafted by a STEP-qualified Trust and Estate Practitioner and covered by professional indemnity insurance.

What happens if I die without a will?
If you die without a valid will you die "intestate". The law then decides who inherits, under the intestacy rules. An unmarried partner inherits nothing under those rules, and step-children inherit nothing unless adopted. The outcome is often not what the family expected. A properly drafted will is the main way to decide who inherits. It is also the usual place to appoint guardians for children.

Should my will include a trust?
It depends on your circumstances. For a couple, a trust in the wills ring-fences the first to die’s share of the home and savings. It catches only what passes under the will, not a home owned as joint tenants or a joint account. The survivor lives in the home and uses the income for life; then the share passes to the children. A new partner, a new will or a family falling-out does not, in general, change who inherits that share. If the survivor later needs care, that share is generally not counted as theirs. It does not protect the survivor’s own share from the survivor’s own care fees. A will cannot protect your own home from your own care fees, either. A trust in a will can also provide for a vulnerable beneficiary. It can look after a partner for life, too, while what you leave still reaches your own children. It is not right for everyone. Aaron says plainly whether a trust helps in your situation or only adds cost.

How long does it take to make a will?
A standard will usually takes two to three weeks from the first meeting to signing. A will with a trust in it takes three to four weeks. Aaron takes your instructions by phone or at a free home visit, sends you a draft to check, then supervises the signing and witnessing. Business interests or overseas assets can take longer, and Aaron tells you the realistic timescale at the start.
