Marriage Automatically Revokes Your Will.

One of the least known facts in England & Wales:
Marriage revokes an existing Will (unless it was made in contemplation of marriage). I regularly meet couples who married years ago and assumed their previous Will still stood.
It often doesn’t. Life changes should trigger a Will review:
• Marriage
• Divorce
• Property purchase
• Birth of children or grandchildren

An outdated Will can be as risky as no Will. Visit us at https://jmwillsandlegalservices.co.uk

Being an Executor Is More Than a Title...

Many clients appoint a sibling, spouse or adult child as executor without discussing what the role involves.
In England, executors are responsible for:
• Reporting to HMRC
• Applying for probate
• Settling debts
• Distributing assets correctly
It can be time-consuming and legally complex.
Choosing the right executor is just as important as writing the Will itself. If you think we can help you, call on 01157522196 or visit us at https://jmwillsandlegalservices.co.uk

January is one of the busiest times of year for Will-related enquiries in the UK, as people start the New Year determined to get their affairs in order.

But if making a Will is on your to-do list, why wait for the busiest time of year? ✍️ Do it now.

Making a Will is one of those jobs that's easy to put off because it doesn't feel urgent — until it suddenly is.

Whether you've had a major life change, your family circumstances have changed, you've bought a property, or you've simply never got around to making one, getting it sorted now means one less thing to worry about.

And by doing it before the seasonal rush, you may also find it easier to get an appointment and give yourself time to think carefully about what you want.

Don't make it a New Year's resolution. Make it something you can tick off today. Visit us for more at https://jmwillsandlegalservices.co.uk

“Do I need probate?”

One of the biggest misconceptions is that probate has to be complicated, stressful, and full of legal jargon. It doesn’t.

When people have clear guidance, straightforward advice, and someone to handle the process step by step, probate becomes far more manageable.

Our aim is simple: take away uncertainty, explain things in plain English, and help families move forward with confidence.

Because at a difficult time, people don’t need more complexity — they need clarity and support. For more, call us on 0115 7522196 or visit us at https://jmwillsandlegalservices.co.uk/probate-administration
