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.

“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.”

“Sophie was brilliant. Clearly knowledgeable, easy personality to deal with and made the whole process quick, simple and never daunting.
Everything was explained clearly and in non-legalese so the simple like me could easily get to grips with. ”

“We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.”

“I went to Ronald Fletcher Baker LLP for my will writing and estate planning. Joseph was incredibly helpful, answered all of my questions clearly, and explained everything perfectly. He turned what could have been an otherwise stressful experience into a very simple and swift process, drafting an excellent, high-quality will. I am very grateful for his guidance and the peace of mind he provided, and I highly recommend him and Ronald Fletcher Baker LLP.”

“Whilst contacting Maitland and Walker, first impressions when speaking to the receptionist was welcoming, warm and friendly. I explained my reasons for the call and how I was recommended by my financial advisor and a friend to see Anna Neil.
The receptionist then placed my call with Lee Lock, whom was equally welcoming, warm and friendly. I explained that my husband and myself needed to have a new Will written but was unsure about what type of Will was needed. We chatted for a while, Lee took our details and emailed information for us to read and think about, before our meeting with Anna. Forms were sent also, needing lots of information. Lee was super helpful and thorough, in preparation for our meeting.
Our planned meeting with Anna Neil, again, was equally welcoming, warm and friendly. Anna was professional and extremely knowledgable. Anna listened and gave honest advice, with reasons why our particular Will was best suited to our needs, helping us decide more easily about what Will to have written. Anna made us feel valued and at ease, making the whole experience feel less formal and more human. Both myself, and my husband felt really positive, without any doubts about decisions made in our will after our meeting with Anna.
It was a pleasure to meet the team at Maitland and Walker, we will definitely use this firm for any future work needed from now on. We are super happy.

Simple Will
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.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The will must be executed correctly to avoid disputes or invalidity, and the testator’s instructions will determine who administers the estate and how assets are distributed. Drafting safeguards include clear allocation of gifts, identification of executors, and consideration of potential challenges or claims against the estate. A solicitor’s involvement helps ensure the document reflects the testator’s wishes and stands up to scrutiny in probate.
