No one likes to think about their own death—that's why many people delay making a will. Unfortunately, this leaves estates at risk of passing to distant relatives or, in some cases, to the Crown.
At BJ McKenna, we specialise in wills and probate law across Stockport, South Manchester, and North Cheshire. Our expert team is here to make the process simple, ensuring your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are protected.

A will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for the distribution of your assets after your death. Without one, your estate may be distributed according to UK intestacy laws, which may not reflect your preferences.
Anyone over the age of 18 with mental capacity can make a will.
If you die without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may exclude certain loved ones, such as unmarried partners or stepchildren.
While you can write your own will, it is recommended to seek professional advice to ensure it is legally valid and covers all necessary details.
You should review your will every few years or after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or acquiring significant assets.
The cost of making a will depends on the complexity of your estate and whether you require professional advice. Contact us for a personalised quote.
