Despite making a Will being one of the most important things you can do for your family & loved ones, at least 60% of us aren’t doing so. Wills are often ignored - people think they’re too young, they don’t like talking about death & funerals, they don’t think they have anything of value to leave, or simply that they don’t need to make one because “it will all go to my wife/husband/Civil Partner/c

Lots of predictions for the Budget. One thing I'm sure of is changes to inheritance tax. Some of my clients are already contacting me about reviewing their Wills. Many ways as how it could change Increase on 40%? Reduce the £325k and £175k tax free bands? Go back to old system of non-transferable IHT for spouses and Civil Partners? Lots of options, so let's see.

It is not known how many people are likely to end up paying more under the government's plan.

Have you made a Will? If so, then you might like to think about registering it for free with the National Will Register. Throughout May, they are offering for people to do this FOR FREE by using Promotion Code FREEWILLREG24.

Usually, it costs an individual £36 to register the existence and location of each Will, so I strongly urge anyone who has never registered. to visit this page and register.



Throughout May, The National Will Register will be offering free will registration to firms, will writers and members of the public alike during Free Will Registration Month using code FREEWILLREG24 online.

Our Story

Despite making a Will being one of the most important things you can do for your family & loved ones, at least 60% of us aren’t doing so. Wills are often ignored - people think they’re too young, they don’t like talking about death, they don’t think they have anything of value to leave, or simply that they don’t need to make one because “it will all go to my wife/husband/Civil Partner/children”. VALLEY WILLWRITING can help you overcome these misconceptions and make life easier for your family & loved ones in the future. Sally Helm offers a truly local service where she can visit you at home or at a place and time of your choosing. Sally takes time to explain what a Will is all about and how you can best prepare for your family's future security. Sally encourages you to talk about what you would like to happen to your money, property and possessions and gives you advice on how this can be arranged. If you have children, Sally also advises on how they might be cared for by the appointment of guardians and making adequate financial provision for them. VALLEY WILLWRITING also offers a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPAs) service.These are essential legal documents for when you’re alive, but you no longer have mental capacity to make decisions for yourself. There are 2 types - Property & Finance, and Health & Welfare. Without these in place, your family cannot make decisions on your behalf - no input into medical treatment and future care, and no discussions with anyone/anything related to your money and home. These need to be made now, not when you’re too elderly to make decisions, and as these forms are long and complicated, I can do these for you and register them on your behalf.
