Make your wishes known and protect those you care about most.

At Macks Solicitors, we understand that planning for the future can feel overwhelming but making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Everyone’s circumstances are different. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. When you choose Macks, you’ll sit down with an experienced solicitor who will take the time to listen to you, understand your individual situation, and help you make informed decisions that reflect your wishes and values.

Our Will Services

We offer a full range of Will writing services tailored to suit every stage of life and every type of family arrangement. Whether you need a simple Will or something more complex, our experienced solicitors will provide clear, personalised advice and prepare your Will with care and precision.

Single Will

A Single Will is ideal for individuals who want to set out clear instructions about how their estate should be distributed. You can name beneficiaries, appoint guardians for children, and make specific gifts or charitable donations. Your solicitor will guide you through the process and ensure your wishes are accurately recorded.

Mirror Wills

Mirror Wills are commonly chosen by married or cohabiting couples who have similar wishes, such as leaving everything to each other and then to the children or other beneficiaries. Although the Wills reflect one another, each person has their own separate document.

Complex Wills

If your family or financial situation is more complicated, we can draft a bespoke Will to meet your needs. Complex Wills may include:

Provisions for blended families
Directions for business ownership or shares
Trusts to protect assets or support vulnerable beneficiaries

We take the time to understand your full circumstances so we can recommend the most appropriate structure and safeguards.

Will Reviews and Updated

Your Will should reflect your current circumstances. If you’ve experienced a life change it’s important to review and update your Will. We offer a straightforward review service to help ensure your Will remains valid, up to date, and fully aligned with your wishes.

Face-to-Face Legal Advice You Can Trust

At Macks, we believe that making a Will should never feel rushed or impersonal. That’s why we always recommend a face-to-face appointment with one of our friendly solicitors.

During your meeting, we’ll:

Take the time to get to know you and your family situation
Discuss your goals, concerns, and priorities without legal jargon
Offer honest, practical advice tailored to your circumstances
Draft a clear, legally sound Will that gives you complete confidence

Why Making a Will Matters

Creating a legally valid Will puts you in control of what happens to your money, property, and possessions after you die. Without a Will, the law decides, and it may not be in line with what you would have wanted.

A professionally drafted Will ensures that:

Your assets go to the people or causes you choose
You appoint guardians you trust for your children
You provide for dependents, including vulnerable or disabled family members
You can reduce or manage inheritance tax where possible
You avoid unnecessary stress or conflict for your loved ones

A Will is not just for the wealthy or elderly; it’s for anyone who wants peace of mind and clarity about the future. Call us on 01642 843 671 or use our online contact form to get started. We’ll listen, explain your options, and help you move forward with confidence.

When Should I Make or Update My Will?

You should make or review your Will if:

You’ve recently married, divorced, or entered a civil partnership
You’ve had children or grandchildren
You’ve bought or sold property
Your financial circumstances have changed
Someone you named in your Will has died or become estranged

Keeping your Will up to date ensures that it always reflects your current wishes.

Sam Pratt was really efficient

I used Macks Solicitors to apply for Probate after my Dad passed away. Sam Pratt made the whole process really easy. I had 2 telephone conversations with him dropped paperwork off at the office and a few weeks later probate had been finalised. He was knowledgeable, friendly and really efficient.
