FAQ’s

You can find answers to some of the typical questions we get asked below. Alternatively, if you have a question that you can’t find an answer to on our website, contact us and we’ll email or call you back at your request.
How long does the process take?

A typical appointment to take your instructions required to prepare your Will(s) lasts approximately 1 hour. Once we have the instructions we promise that you will receive your Will(s) within 1 Calendar Month, however we usually make another appointment to bring the completed documents for signing and witnessing.

If you require your document(s) sooner than this we also offer a Fast Track service, where, for an additional charge, we guarantee your documents within 3 days of taking the instructions.
Do I really need a Will?
For most people the answer is most certainly, ‘Yes’. A Will allows you to decide who will inherit after your death, who will act as guardians to your children, and will also give you the peace of mind of knowing that your family will not have to struggle with the complexities of organising your estate unassisted. In addition, a carefully planned Will can be used to structure your affairs to protect your assets for future generations.
Can I change my Will after it has been written?
Yes. In fact we suggest you review your Will every few years so that you can make sure it is relevant to your current situation.
What happens after I die?

The Legacy Company are able to act as Executors, where we would meet your loved ones and collect all the necessary information for the probate application.  When your loved ones are named as Executor we offer a free initial consultation where we explain their options and what needs to be done.

What can I do to protect a disabled or vulnerable beneficiary?
Should you leave an inheritance to your vulnerable beneficiary, a discretionary trust in your will can help in the distribution of their inheritance.
You can appoint a Trustee (perhaps a close family member) who is given the discretion to leave the legacy to a group of beneficiaries e.g. your children. These beneficiaries have the potential to inherit but not the right.
Your Trustees can decide how the funds are distributed therefore allowing the vulnerable beneficiary access to funds when required.

The Legacy Company have assisted me and my family with a number of services including Will Writing, Power of Attorney arrangements and various property issues. James McPhail in particular has been extremely helpful always going the extra mile to assist wherever possible which has been much appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to a friend!

Contacted The Legacy Company from a friend's recommendation and James McPhail made a home visit. I found him very kind, professional and straightforward in what can be a confusing and difficult task. Had a quick response to organise and we are very satisfied with how our request was dealt with and how it was conducted. Highly recommend.

Making a Will and LPA is obviously never going to be an enjoyable experience, but James took us through everything that we needed to do with a nice light friendly touch - including some humour 🙂 He explained all of the legal jargonese in easy to understand terms, and took us through all of the paperwork in a very concise way. (Thumbs up for the 'one pen' rule James) I would definitely recommend the Legacy Company.
