A simple will covers how someone’s assets are arranged to be passed on after death, typically with a straightforward set of gifts and a single or a couple of executors. A solicitor drafts and amends the document, checks that it clearly expresses the testator’s wishes, and ensures formal validity, including proper signing and witnessing. They review who should benefit, appoint guardians for any minor children, and consider basic tax and debt issues so the will operates smoothly when probate is sought.

“From the very first time I spoke to Paul, when arranging to draw up my will, he showed nothing but professionalism, courtesy and respect, whilst at the same time, being very approachable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made me feel at ease, and that continued throughout my dealings with him. I found him to be a very affable, genuine man, who took time to explain the whole process very clearly to me. I would highly recommend Paul and indeed Slater Heelis in general.”

“I have been putting off doing my will because the thought of the legal documentation felt a little daunting. I need not have worried, Poole Alcock explained things clearly with no 'legal jargon' and my will was completed in a clean, understandable and timely manner.”

“Being wheelchair bound access was available to me at Shiphill offices. Everything I needed to know was explained to me in detail and found the apprehension I had at first was not warranted. Any issues I had were explained in layman's terms. The legal advice given was very helpful in drafting up this Will. Thank you. ”

“My father was a lawyer, and i am aware of what makes a great lawyer. My family got extremely lucky when we recently hired Nelsons to handle our aunt's estate. Especially since Nadia Faki has been the lawyer we have had the great fortune of dealing with. She has been very professional, does everything when and how she said she will do it....and quite frankly, she made handling the estate a very easy procedure, which is saying something, considering we all live in a different country. (Canada) In short, she is a great lawyer. As you can tell i am very happy with Nelsons and especially Nadia Faki. If anyone has any questions about my experience, feel free to email me at guyrandall@hotmail.com I”
