It's not our job, it's our vocation.
Your Will isn't merely a piece of paper with directions, it's more than that. Shire Wills ensures that your legacy is completely secure. Banks v Goodfellow (1870) serves as the benchmark for demonstrating what a secure Will is, and what it is not. In brief, it's highly difficult to challenge a Will provided that the testator is capable of understanding the purpose and effects of making the Will, is properly informed as to the extent of their assets, appreciates the moral and legal claims of anyone who might expect to benefit from the estate and overall is in a sound state of mind and free from coercion. We take the burden of proof off your shoulders. Each and every consultation, whether carried out at home or remotely is recorded and evidenced via a strategic process of fact finding whereby we become familiar with your wishes, circumstances and assets so that we can ensure that the work which we curate for you is bulletproof.

Passing away intestate is quite possibly one of the biggest insults that your loved ones can be dealt during their lifetime.
