Last Minute Wills


One of the things which is most uncertain in life is precisely when it will end. It is ironic that for those of us lucky enough to be forewarned of the approximate date of our death, allowing us to prepare our affairs and say goodbye to our family and friends, we often unfortunately are then subjected to a harsh fight with illness - a fight which we have no hope of winning.

For the rest of us, we have no idea how long we have left. Yet despite this, many of us still prefer not to face what is coming, and avoid putting our affairs in order.

Yet all is not lost, even if you find yourself in hospital undergoing treatment for a terminal illness or severe injuries.

Some consultants provide a service whereby they will visit you in hospital and, provided it can be proven that you are of sound mind at the time, will take your instructions and produce a valid UK Will within a matter of hours as well as organising an additional visit for attestation.

It can also often be arranged to have the Will signed and witnessed, at the request of your Executors.

This procedure is always kept strictly confidential, allowing you to settle your affairs, even at the eleventh hour. However, it is of course always advisable to keep stress to a minimum by facing facts whilst you are still healthy and have the energy to focus and organise. Take a few hours out of your busy life and prepare your Will, to ensure that, when the time comes, you can rest safe in the knowledge that your loved ones will be cared for after you've gone.
