Chester Wills & Estate Planning FAQs
DO I NEED A SOLICITOR IN CHESTER TO MAKE MY WILL?
No. Your solicitor does not have to be located in Chester for your will to be valid. However, choosing a legal team familiar with the needs of Chester and surrounding Cheshire families can make the advice more relevant to your circumstances.
Liberay Legal can support Chester residents through telephone and online appointments.
I OWN A HOUSE IN CHESTER, SHOULD I HAVE A WILL?
Owning property is one of the many reasons to consider making a will. Your home may represent a substantial part of your estate, so it is important to consider who you want to inherit it and how it fits into your wider estate plan.
The right arrangements will depend on how the property is owned and your personal circumstances.
WHAT IF I DIE WITHOUT A WILL?
If you die without a valid will, the Rules of Intestacy determine who inherits your estate. These rules may not produce the outcome you would have chosen, particularly where there are unmarried partners, stepchildren, blended families or more complicated family arrangements.
Making a valid will gives you greater control over what happens to your estate.
CAN YOU HELP WITH INHERITANCE TAX PLANNING?
We can discuss the estate planning considerations that may affect your circumstances, including the value and nature of your assets and how you intend to pass them on.
Inheritance tax rules can be complex and may change, so appropriate professional advice is important where your estate could be affected.
HOW LONG DOES PROBATE USUALLY TAKE IN CHESTER?
There is no standard timescale for every estate. Straightforward estates may be dealt with relatively quickly, while matters involving property, business interests, tax issues, disputes or assets outside the UK can take considerably longer.
We’ll explain the likely process and timescales based on the circumstances of the estate.
