Wills
Whether you need to make a new will or change your existing will, Kennan Doyle Solicitors can assist. We can assure you that your Will will be drafted by a fully qualified solicitor who is experienced in Will drafting.
When making a Will you book in to see us for your initial appointment where you provide instructions to enable us to prepare a draft Will. The draft Will will then be sent out to you for approval at which time you will contact us to make an appointment for signing. We provide the two independent witnesses required in order to have your Will executed. We also offer a free of charge storage facility where we will hold your original Will and provide you with a certified copy.
To book your initial consultation please telephone our Allerton Office on 0151 705 8588 or our Bootle Office on 0151 294 3155.
Circumstances when you need to review your Will
If you Marry or form a civil partnership after the date of you Will, it will in most cases automatically be revoked.
If you become divorced or have your marriage or civil partnership annulled or declared void after the date of your Will, in most cases any appointment of your former husband/wife/civil partner as executor or trustee will be automatically cancelled and ant devise or bequest to him/her will lapse.
In the following events, you are advised to mention the same to your solicitor in case any alterations in your Will become desirable:
- If you change your name, or anyone mentioned in the Will changes theirs
- If an executor dies or becomes unsuitable to act due to age or ill health, etc.
- If a beneficiary dies
- If you have specifically bequeathed any property which you subsequently sell, or which changes nature
- If your estate materially changes in value
- If you have children.
If you wish to alter or revoke your Will you should consult with a solicitor so that the legally formalities can be observed – otherwise your wishes may not take effect.
