What is a Will?
A will is a legal document that lets you decide on what happens to your money, property and possessions (your ‘estate’) after your death.
It allows you to set out your wishes clearly and decide the people who will be responsible (your ‘executors’) for dealing your estate.
If you fail to make a will, the law steps in and will divide your estate up according to what is called the ‘Rules of Intestacy’. These are rigid and can sometimes lead to results which are contrary to your wishes. This can be a complicated and stressful process without the necessary legal expertise.
Benefits of a Will:
- You decide where your assets go
- You decide who deals with your estate following your death
- Appoint legal guardians of children who are minors
- Ensure gifts of personal items are left to the right people
- Reflect life change such as marriage, divorce and the birth of children or grandchildren
- Set up Trusts or Gifting to Charity
- Minimise Inheritance Tax

Reviews
Your Wills Solicitors
Always approachable and highly regarded by thousands of satisfied clients, we will tirelessly work to achieve the best possible result for you.
Reviewing or Changing Your Will
Having an up-to-date will is vital to make sure your current wishes are reflected.
We recommend review of your will around once every 5 years, but especially after major life events, for instance:
- You get married or divorced
- Any of your beneficiaries (the people you are giving your assets to) get married or die
- New children or grandchildren are born and you want them to inherit
- There’s a big change to your financial circumstances
- You come into an inheritance
These changes have the potential to have both a legal and financial impact on your current will.
Depending on the circumstances, you may wish to amend or rewrite tour will.
If you require advice in relation to any aspect of wills in Northern Ireland, contact our Belfast-based team today on 028 90 49 3349 or tell us about it.
Contesting or Defending a Will
Contesting a will can be very challenging and is often daunting. You won’t always have a case to do so and our experts are here to honestly advise you on the merits.
Some situations which might give rise to a challenge include:
- Lack of capacity of the person who made the will
- Undue influence
- Invalid execution
- Forged wills
- If you are married or financially dependent and the will hasn’t made adequate provision for you
- If the executors are not acting properly in the administration of the estate
