Why Choose Us
Three things set our service apart:
A specialist, not a call centre. Charles Quist, our fully insured principal adviser, handles your will personally from first conversation to signed document. Wills, trusts and estate planning are the whole job, not a sideline.
Written around your life, not a template.
Every will we draft starts from your circumstances, whether that means providing for a partner, protecting a child's inheritance or naming guardians. You'll have your choices explained in plain English, so you understand not just what you're signing but why it's right for you.
Done properly, so it holds up.
A will only works if it's valid and clearly worded. We make sure yours is drafted, signed and witnessed correctly, leaving no ambiguity for your family to untangle later and no room for it to be challenged when it matters most.
AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK
Life in Cardiff rarely pauses for paperwork, so we fit around you. Appointments are available every day of the week, including evenings and weekends, at whatever time suits your household.
PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
We talk you through every option before you decide anything, from will trusts and lifetime trusts to inheritance tax planning and lasting powers of attorney, all explained in plain English.
FULLY INSURED
Charles Quist, our principal adviser, is fully insured and always puts your interests first. We are proud members of the FSB and BNI.
Our Will Writing Service
Every will we draft starts with a conversation about your life, not a form. From there, we cover everything a household typically needs:
Single and mirror wills that name your executors, guardians for your children and exactly who inherits your home, savings and possessions.
- Protection for unmarried partners. With couples living together without marrying, the intestacy rules leave a surviving partner with no automatic right to anything. A will closes that gap completely.
- Reviews and updates of existing wills after a marriage, divorce, new grandchild or house move.
- Trusts, lasting powers of attorney and inheritance tax planning for estates that need more than a will alone, always at a fixed cost quoted upfront.
- Once your draft is approved, we return to oversee the signing or post the documents with clear witnessing instructions. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Request your free consultation, and we will call you back the same day, where possible.
FAQs
What actually happens if I die without a will?
Your estate would be distributed according to the fixed rules of intestacy, not your personal wishes. This can mean an unmarried partner receives nothing at all, and it often leads to outcomes families never intended, from the wrong relative inheriting to a longer, more stressful process for those left behind. Writing a will is the only way to guarantee your estate goes where you want it to.
What information or documents do I need to prepare before my appointment?
You don't need to have everything perfectly organised or have official deeds on hand before we speak. It helps to have a general idea of what you own (like property, savings, or investments) and to think about who you would want as executors, guardians for young children, and beneficiaries. We will guide you through the entire conversation step-by-step, so there is no need to stress about getting paperwork ready beforehand.
Is it worth paying for a professionally written will rather than using an online template?
A template can seem like the cheaper option, but it won't ask the questions a qualified adviser will ask around guardianship, blended families, property ownership, or how your estate should be handled if a beneficiary predeceases you. A professionally drafted will is far less likely to be challenged or misinterpreted, which gives real peace of mind to the people you're leaving it to.
How often should I review or update my will once it's written?
As a general rule, review your will every three to five years, or straight away after a major life event such as marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, or a significant change in what you own. Circumstances change quietly over time, and a will that isn't kept current can end up out of step with what you'd actually want.
