Creating a will is one of the most important legal steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are followed. At Blackfriars Law, we help individuals and families across Birmingham prepare clear, legally sound wills tailored to their unique circumstances.
Whether you’re preparing your first will or updating an existing one, our expert solicitors are here to guide you through the process with care, clarity and complete professionalism.
Many people delay writing a will, assuming it’s something to think about later in life. However, without a valid will in place, your estate may not be distributed the way you intend. This can cause distress and confusion for those you leave behind, and may even result in legal disputes.
A properly drafted will ensures your wishes are respected. It gives you the power to:
Without a will, your estate will be distributed according to the UK’s rules of intestacy. This may not reflect your wishes or benefit those closest to you. Writing a will gives you peace of mind and protects the people and causes you care about.
At Blackfriars Law, we believe that making a will shouldn’t be complicated, expensive or impersonal. We offer a fixed-fee, face-to-face or remote service with no hidden costs. Whether your situation is straightforward or more complex, we take the time to understand your goals and explain every step in plain language.
Our solicitors will draft a will that is fully tailored to your family structure, your assets, and your future wishes. We can also offer guidance on:
Even if you already have a will, it’s important to review it regularly. Life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant financial shifts may affect your existing arrangements.
We can review your current will to ensure it still reflects your circumstances and advise on any updates or codicils required. In some cases, a full redraft may be the best course of action.
Discussing wills and planning for the future can feel overwhelming or emotional. We understand that, and our team is here to provide not only legal expertise, but empathy and discretion throughout the process.
We take pride in offering a warm, approachable service where you feel supported, not rushed. We’ll give you the time and information you need to make informed, confident decisions.
While it’s possible to write your own will, mistakes or unclear wording can lead to disputes or your wishes not being carried out properly. A solicitor ensures your will is legally valid, correctly executed, and fully tailored to your circumstances. This reduces the risk of future problems for your loved ones.
We offer clear, fixed-fee pricing for our will writing services, with no hidden charges. The cost may vary depending on the complexity of your estate, but we’ll always provide a quote upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
We do not make amendments to wills at Blackfriars Law. We always recommend writing a new will.
If you die without a valid will, your estate will be divided according to the UK’s intestacy rules. This may not reflect your wishes and can exclude unmarried partners, stepchildren, or close friends. Writing a will gives you control over who inherits your estate.
At Blackfriars Law, we offer secure will storage and can register your will with the National Will Register for added peace of mind.
