- You have married, separated or divorced;
- You have entered a new relationship – and in the process formed a blended family;
- You have had a baby or become a grandparent;
- You have recently retired;
- You have lost a loved one;
- You have bought a house or acquired another asset; or
- A beneficiary or appointed executor in your existing Will has passed away.

A quality Will is an investment in your family’s future
In recent years there has been an uptake in home-made and online Wills. On the face of it they seem an inexpensive solution but it is very much a case of buyer beware. Low-cost Will options are often found to be low-quality and more expensive in the long-run. These types of Wills are also often found to be invalid for not meeting the requirements of the Wills Act and the Probate Rules. Moreover, they are the most probable cause for the massive increase in Inheritance Claims and contested Wills and Estates. Below is a table highlighting the differences between a Scammell & Co Will and a home-made or online Will:
