Conduit Estate Planners

Wills

A clear plan for the people you love.

A Will makes your wishes clear. It gives your loved ones more certainty when they need it most.

Why a Will matters

A Will lets your voice be heard when you cannot speak for yourself.

01

Your wishes

Set out who should benefit from what you leave behind, and in what way.

02

Your people

Choose who deals with your affairs and who looks after your children if they are still young.

03

More certainty

Give your family a clearer path through a time that can already feel overwhelming.

WORTH KNOWING

What happens if...

What happens if you die without a Will?

The law decides who gets what. Not you.
It follows a fixed order — and it does not know your family.
An unmarried partner can receive nothing, however long you have been together.
Children from a previous relationship may not be looked after as you intended.
Your home may have to be sold so everyone gets their share.

What happens if you have one?

Your wishes are followed.
The right people are looked after.
Your family is not left guessing at what you wanted.
A happy young family smiling together in their sunny back garden
All sorted — and the family has nothing to worry about.
A couple in their late sixties finally sat down and sorted it.
An hour of talking.
What they got back was simple — certainty, and the knowledge that their children would never have to guess.

If there is no Will

Intestacy rules cannot know your family.

No Will, and the rules decide for you.

They do not know your family. They do not know what you wanted.

An unmarried partner may be left without the inheritance they expected — however long you have been together.

A conversation now can help avoid confusion later.

A typical situation, kept anonymous

The rules can leave a lot for your family to carry.

We met a couple who assumed everything would pass to each other.

They were not married. They had no Will.

When one of them died, the surviving partner had no automatic right to inherit.

The home and savings did not follow the path they had imagined.

In another family, an estranged relationship and blended family brought siblings into conflict.

A home had to be sold so beneficiaries could receive their shares.

Grieving people were left with paperwork, arguments and decisions they never expected.

When a Will is put off, the work does not disappear. It lands with the people you love, often at the hardest possible time.

“A Will cannot remove every difficult feeling, but it can remove a great deal of uncertainty.”

Once it is sorted, your family has a clear starting point.

You can protect children and grandchildren.

You can make your wishes known and feel confident that the people you love are looked after.

Your questions

Wills, in plain English

Do I need a Will?

If you have a partner, children or anything to leave behind, a Will is worth considering. It gives you a say in what happens.

What happens if I die without a Will?

The intestacy rules decide who inherits. They may not match your family or your wishes.

Can I update an existing Will?

Yes. Review it after marriage, separation, a new child, bereavement, a house move or a financial change.
