Wills in Gloucestershire: Why they matter

Creating a will is essential to protect your loved ones, yet many people in Gloucestershire and across the UK delay this vital step. Available statistics highlight the importance of having a will, with trends applicable to Gloucestershire’s diverse communities:

  • Only around 40% of UK adults have a will, and in Gloucestershire, with its mix of urban and rural populations, many residents risk their estates being distributed under intestacy rules, which may not reflect their wishes.
  • Over 75% of existing wills in the UK are estimated to be out of date, potentially causing disputes or unintended outcomes for families in areas like Cheltenham or Stroud.
  • Each year, thousands of estates in England and Wales are subject to intestacy because no valid will exists, leading to delays and stress for families, a challenge faced by Gloucestershire residents in postcodes like GL1 and GL50.

From Gloucester to the Cotswolds, Marley Solicitors helps residents across postcodes like GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4, GL5, GL6, GL7, GL8, GL10, GL12 create robust wills, ensuring their wishes are clear, tax-efficient, and legally binding, avoiding the pitfalls of intestacy.
