Single Wills
What is a Single Will?
A Single Will, sometimes referred to as an Individual Will, is a legal document that sets out exactly how you would like your estate to be distributed after your death. It also allows you to appoint executors to carry out your wishes and, where appropriate, nominate guardians for any dependent children.
Without a valid will in place, your estate may be distributed according to the UK's intestacy rules, which may not reflect your wishes.
Why should you have a Single Will?
Creating a Single Will ensures your wishes are clearly documented and gives you confidence that your loved ones will be looked after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should have a Single Will?
A Single Will is suitable for anyone who wants to decide how their estate should be distributed. It's commonly chosen by people who are single, divorced, widowed or those whose wishes differ from a partner's.
Can I update my Single Will in the future?
Yes. Your will should be reviewed whenever your circumstances change, such as getting married, having children, purchasing property or if your beneficiaries change.
What happens if I don't have a will?
If you die without a valid will, your estate will usually be distributed according to the rules of intestacy. This may mean your assets aren't passed on in the way you would have wanted.
