Families who are incorrectly
filling in homemade Wills could be disinheriting their children.
So-called ‘Do-It-Yourself’
kits have grown in popularity over recent years, namely because of the reduced
cost. Tempted by the price of just £20 in some cases, an increasing number of
people are choosing to consolidate their final wishes using a DIY kit, or are
at least attempting to.
A number of legal
professionals have documented a rise in the number of clients who could be
disinheriting their desired beneficiaries, mostly because they are asking them
to be a witness to the signing of the Will. As a result, they are then ruled
out of obtaining anything from the associated Estate.
Of course, where homemade will
kits are concerned, this is not the only problem that could arise. Wills are
complex documents with intricate legal language and in most cases, it is
important to obtain expert help.
