What happens if you do nothing
Without a Will, the intestacy rules for England and Wales decide who inherits. Not you. Choose a situation below to see what that means in practice.
IF YOU DO NOTHING
The law splits your estate by formula. Stepchildren receive nothing.
IF YOU MAKE A WILL
You choose who receives what, when, and can appoint guardians for children under 18.
IF YOU DO NOTHING
Parents, siblings, friends and charities receive nothing at all.
IF YOU MAKE A WILL
You provide for your spouse and still leave gifts to parents, siblings, friends or charities.
IF YOU DO NOTHING
Your partner inherits nothing. It does not matter how long you have lived together.
IF YOU MAKE A WILL
A Will is the only way to protect an unmarried partner.
IF YOU DO NOTHING
You cannot choose guardians, include stepchildren, or set a later age to inherit.
IF YOU MAKE A WILL
You appoint guardians and can set trusts so children inherit at an age you choose.

Twenty-two years of explaining this properly
Mark Underwood has been in the Will writing profession since 2004. Prior to this, Mark was an Independent Financial Advisor specialising in guiding and supporting clients on their journey to protect them and their assets from long term care costs. It was during this period that he recognised the need to inform people of the consequences of not making proper plans for what might lay ahead, and to explain this in plain English.

What our clients say
"Expert knowledge"
We were recommended to Mark to help us deal with my mother-in-law's estate, passing the probate to someone with expert knowledge.

We were recommended to Mark and his team by our financial adviser to help us deal with my mother-in-law's estate. The primary benefits of appointing them as the administrators were passing over the task of dealing with the probate to someone with expert knowledge, at a time when other matters concerning the management of the estate, the funeral and other issues, needed dealing with. The aspects of their service which I particularly liked about Mark and his team were the home visits, and always being on hand to answer queries and to advise us of their progress.
"We truly valued Mark's advice"
He has advised myself and my close family with regard to Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. We truly valued Mark's advice.

I have known Mark professionally and personally for a number of years. He has advised myself and my close family with regard to Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. The LPA has proved invaluable as my mother is now in a care home. Having the LPA saved us a lot of anguish at a difficult time. We truly valued Mark's advice. I have also referred Mark to many friends, who all speak very highly of him. If you want advice in these areas from someone that's knowledgeable and caring, then look no further than Mark.
"Explanations were clear, concise and simple to understand."
We made contact and arranged a home visit. Explanations were clear, concise and simple to understand.

We had been considering updating our Wills for some time. By chance a relative mentioned and recommended using Integrity Legal Services. We made contact and arranged a home visit. At that first meeting we were impressed by the responsiveness and ease of reply to our many questions. Explanations were clear, concise and simple to understand. The home visits were found to be most convenient, providing a relaxed atmosphere. In today's environment it often proves difficult to get a return call. We were, however, impressed by the prompt professional approach.
"There was no pressure put on us in any way."
Mark was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. There was no pressure put upon us in any way.

The truth is, it is the law that decides who benefits financially from your death, and when, unless you take the appropriate action.
