Wills
How it works.
Making a will does not have to be a long, complicated and expensive process. At Charlton Baker, we offer an affordable, quick and stress-free will writing service to clients across Devizes, Bath and Trowbridge. We can write your will following either a face-to-face meeting at our Devizes, Bath or Trowbridge office, or a telephone call.
"When I decided I needed to write a will I naturally turned to Charlton Baker as being our trusted accountants and advisors they know myself and my family well. The service was excellent and revealed some points to consider that were not immediately obvious." James S, Wiltshire.
What information will I need?
In order to write your will, we need the following information:
- Personal details: full name, address, date of birth, dependents, relationship status.
- Your Estate: your estate consists of all the property you own or control for example, property, cash, monies, cryptoassets, jewellery, life insurance, businesses. It also includes any liabilities you may have, for example mortgages, loans etc.
