If you want your assets to go to the people or charities that you want, you must make a Will.<\/h4>\n<p>Our Wills Department are able to<strong> prepare your Will,<\/strong> if you not have one, or amend your Will if your circumstances change (for instance in the event of a marriage, divorce, separation or the birth of children or grandchildren).<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t made a Will, the law dictates how your assets must be divided. If you are married or in a civil partnership, <strong>your spouse or partner may not inherit all your assets<\/strong>. If you are not married or not in a civil partnership, your partner will not inherit your assets by right and if you are single with no close family, all assets could pass to the State.<\/p>\n<p>By <strong>making a Will<\/strong>, you can choose to whom you want to leave your estate as well as appointing guardians to look after any young children should you die whilst they are under the age of 18. By planning ahead, you can ensure that you do not cause unnecessary difficulties for your loved ones.\u00a0You can use your Will to look after everything that is important to you, including charitable causes or pets.<\/p>\n<p>We have prepared an information sheet that you can <strong>download free<\/strong> by filling in the form on this page:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Free Download: Help Making a Will Information Sheet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1539874385366{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;background-color: #ea5e24 !important;}&#8221;][formidable id=23][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15856&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<a href=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wrigleyclaydon.com%2Fwills-powers-of-attorney-probate-and-trusts%2Fwills-and-probate-fixed-fees%2F\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn btn-inline-left\" id=\"default-btn-1\"><span>Wills and Probate Fixed Fees<\/span><\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>To talk to us about supporting someone when they are unable to deal with their affairs please call us for more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester Office:<\/strong> 0161 914 9881<br \/>\n<strong>Oldham Office: <\/strong>0161 624 6811<br \/>\n<strong>Todmorden Office: <\/strong>01706 815712<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Oldham and Manchester:<\/strong>\u00a0<a title=\"Rachel Damianou, Partner\" href=\"http:\/\/wrigleyclaydon.com\/rachel-damianou-partner\/\">Rachel Damianou<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/wrigleyclaydon.com\/our-people\/jyoti-patel-associate-solicitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jyoti Patel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team &#8211; Todmorden: <\/strong> <a title=\"Emma Piszkalo, Associate Solicitor\" href=\"http:\/\/wrigleyclaydon.com\/our-people\/emma-piszkalo-partner\/\">Emma Piszkalo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrigleyclaydon.com\/our-people\/amelia-ormerod-assistant-conveyancer\/\">Amelia Ormerod<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Wills&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] Making a Will\u00a0should not be left to old age.
