Why do I need a Will?
- Creates peace of mind and ensures your assets are passed on to who you intend, and that your wishes are honoured.
- It helps speed up the probate process. Without a Will the probate court will decide how to divide your estate and cause unnecessary delays.
- Leaving gifts or donations in your Will enables your legacy to live on and reflects your personal values.
What if I don’t have a Will?
If you die without a Will, the law determines who inherits your property, possessions and savings. This means your wishes may not be met and family members, friends or chosen charities may not receive a gift as you had wished.
It is important to write a Will if you would like to offer specific gifts to specific people. You are able to update your Will as often as you like by making a Codicil. This will allow you to change your mind about leaving a gift to Rowcroft at any time.
How to make a Will?
You can make a Will at any time and we recommend you consult a solicitor to make sure that all the legal formalities are covered and that your Will is valid.
We are supported by 15 local South Devon solicitors who would be happy to assist you in making a Will.
Please contact your chosen solicitor directly from the list below to make an appointment. Or if you would like to discuss how your gift will help Rowcroft to continue to care for generations to come, please contact our Legacy Officer on 01803 217405
