Wills
Securing Your Future, Protecting Your Rights and Honoring Your Wishes
At Kaur Sutherland, we offer expert will writing services.
A will is a legal document that specifies how your assets (including money, property, and personal possessions), will be distributed after your death. It also allows you to appoint guardians for any minor children, ensuring your wishes are respected.
Fixed Conveyancing Fees
Making a will is an important step in ensuring your wishes are carried out after you pass away. While the process may seem complicated, with expert advice and guidance from our team of solicitors, it can be relatively straightforward.
Although a will does not legally have to involve input from a solicitor, we at Kaur Sutherland can ensure that your will is properly drafted, clear, and legally binding, providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.
Our will writing service helps you ensure that your estate goes to the people you choose, whilst minimising inheritance tax and helping to appoint executors. We also assist with setting up trusts and making charitable donations, giving you full control of your legacy.
Types of Wills
We offer a range of Will options tailored to your needs:
For individuals who want to record their own wishes.
Perfect for couples with similar wishes, leaving property to each other or shared beneficiaries.
Ideal for protecting assets, supporting children from previous relationships, or safeguarding inheritance for vulnerable beneficiaries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to write a will?
It will usually take around an hour to discuss with our experts and 1-3 days for them to draft your Will, with most Wills completed and sent within 24 hours.
Can I write a will without the help of a solicitor?
Yes, you can write your own will, but it comes with risks. If you don’t follow legal requirements correctly, your will could be invalid, leading to complications for your family after your death. This is especially important if you have a complex estate, multiple beneficiaries, or need to address inheritance tax issues.
While writing a will yourself might save money upfront, a solicitor can ensure it’s legally valid, reduce the risk of disputes, and help with tax planning. For peace of mind, consulting a solicitor is worth the investment.
What does 'testate' and 'intestate' mean?
‘Testate Succession’ occurs when an individual passes away having left a valid will. Their estate is distributed according to the terms outlined in the will, although legal rights must still be satisfied.
Intestate Succession occurs when someone dies without a valid will. In this case, their estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy, as set out in the Succession Act 1964.
What does 'probate' mean?
Probate is the process of seeking permission to execute a Will after a person’s death. We will manage the process for you and guide you every step of the way.
What Our Clients Say
Frank Benson
I would like to give thanks to Kaur Sutherland conveyance team for working tirelessly to get this commercial conveyancing deal over the line. This would have been impossible without them. Job well done
Joan Leong
We used Kaur Sutherland for the purchase of our forever home. They communicated a lot through email which was great because we’re busy and not always able to answer phone calls or stop by the office. It helped keep us all in the loop. They were easy to work with and we had no issues closing the sale. A fantastic experience from start to finish.
Adam Samuels
