Only by making a Will can you be confident your estate passes to those you want to benefit such as your family and friends. If you have children under eighteen, the appointment of guardians to care for them is also essential.
Andrew Robertson and Simon Finn are Mencap's Wills and Trusts Service's recommended solicitors to parents and carers of children with a learning disability, and are able to offer advice to parents and carers who are considering making their wills to plan for the future of their vulnerable child.

Also, consider whether there are any special items you would want particular people to have. If you have special wishes about a burial or cremation your will is the safest way of recording them.
A will is a key element in financial and tax planning. Arranging your affairs properly in your will can substantially mitigate your Inheritance Tax liability and so ease the burden to your family.
