Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your assets are passed on according to your wishes. We make the process straightforward, offering clear, friendly advice every step of the way.




We cannot overstate how important it is to make a Will. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a new parent, a thriving business owner, a retiree, or somewhere in between. Choosing a professionally written Will could help your loved ones avoid a conflict, save you thousands in Inheritance Tax, and make it easier to make decisions while you’re still alive. Making a Will gives you clarity, control, and peace of mind.
At Heppenstalls, we make the process simple and stress-free. We take the time to understand your personal circumstances and clearly explain your options, so your Will reflects your wishes and provides reassurance for you and your loved ones.
Almost every adult can benefit from having a Will. It’s a simple step that ensures your wishes are known and followed, whatever your circumstances.
If you have a specific vision for how you want your estate to be passed on, then our experts can advise you on the best way to make that a reality.
We’re proud to be the legal partner of choice for so many individuals and families. Here’s what our clients have to say about working with Heppenstalls.
A Will ensures your assets go to the people or causes you choose. It also makes things much easier for your executors and loved ones during a difficult time.
If you die without a Will, the law decides who inherits your estate. This may not reflect your wishes or protect the people you care about most.
We recommend reviewing your Will every 3–5 years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, or having children.
A simple Will generally appoints one executor and sets out straightforward instructions for how to distribute your estate to a simple group or class of beneficiaries once all the debts, tax and expenses have been paid. A complex Will may include Trusts, tax planning, or special arrangements for dependants. We’ll help you decide what’s best for you.
While it’s possible to write a Will yourself, mistakes can cause problems later. A professionally written Will ensures your wishes are legally valid and clearly set out.
