Picture this: You work hard your entire life, building a home, savings, and a legacy—only for the government to decide who gets what when you’re gone.
That’s exactly what happens if you don’t have a will. And shockingly, over two-thirds of UK adults—72% of parents*—are unknowingly risking their family's future by putting this off.
❌ No Will? Here’s What That Means for Your Loved Ones:
💡 The Good News? Creating a Will Has Never Been Easier or More Affordable.
Many people put it off—assuming it’s complicated, expensive, or “something to do later.” But later often becomes too late.
Now, for just £19.99, you can create a legally binding will in minutes—without costly solicitors or confusing paperwork.
🔹 Secure your family's future in three simple steps.
🔹 Take control of your estate—before it’s too late.
🔹 Gain peace of mind knowing your loved ones are protected.
✅ Take Control of Your Legacy – Ensure your hard-earned assets go directly to the people you love, not wherever the law decides.
💔 Ease the Burden on Your Family – Spare your loved ones the stress, uncertainty, and financial strain of sorting out your affairs during an already difficult time.
💰 Protect Your Wealth from Unnecessary Taxes – Reduce inheritance tax and maximize what your family actually receives.
🎁 Make Sure Every Gift Goes to the Right Hands – From sentimental treasures to financial assets, ensure your wishes are followed to the letter.
👨👩👧 Keep the Peace in Your Family – Prevent disputes, legal battles, and the heartbreak of loved ones fighting over your estate.
🔐 Safeguard Your Children’s Future – Secure their inheritance and make sure they’re financially protected, no matter what happens.
✍️ Choose Who Handles Your Estate – Appoint trusted executors instead of leaving it to the courts to decide.
📌 Don’t wait—take control of your legacy today.
📌 Margaret’s Unwanted Heir
Margaret and John shared 30 years of love and commitment. But there’s one problem—she never officially divorced her ex-husband, Gary, whom she hasn’t seen in four decades. If Margaret passes away without a will, the law says Gary—her legal spouse—inherits everything. John, the man who stood by her side for decades, could be left with nothing.
📌 Karen’s Unintended Exclusion
James adores all his children—three biological and his stepdaughter, Karen, whom he’s raised as his own. But in the eyes of the law, Karen isn’t considered his legal heir. Without a will, she gets nothing, while her siblings receive everything. James’ love for Karen won’t matter—only his legal ties do.
📌 David’s Forgotten Family
Elderly and without close relatives, David found companionship and care in his kind-hearted neighbors, who treated him like family. He wanted them to inherit his estate as thanks for their years of support. But without a will? The government could seize his assets, leaving those who truly cared for him with nothing. Fair? Not in the slightest.
❌ 1. Do Nothing & Hope for the Best
The easiest option—but also the riskiest. By doing nothing, you leave your family’s future in the cold, bureaucratic hands of government protocol. Do you really want the law—not you—to decide who inherits everything you’ve worked for?
💰 2. The Traditional Solicitor Route
A tried-and-tested method, but at a cost. Expensive fees, drawn-out meetings, and rigid processes make this option slow, costly, and often unnecessary for most people.
⚠️ 3. The DIY Gamble
Yes, you can write your own will—but even a tiny mistake can render it legally invalid. One overlooked detail could lead to disputes, delays, and expensive legal battles for your family, causing more harm than good.
✅ 4. The Smarter, Safer Choice: The Legacy Wills Way
Why risk it? With Legacy Wills, you get a legally binding will, tailored to your needs, without the solicitor’s hefty price tag or the dangers of DIY errors. Fast, simple, affordable—and recommended by The Times. (add in the little money mentor graphic here please)
