Specialist wills
If your family has more complicated origins, having specialist wills in place can make all the difference if someone dies unexpectedly. For example, are you sure that your child could legally be cared for by his or her surviving parents if a parent dies? Would your child have a right of inheritance from all of his or her parents? If you are a surrogate or a donor, would the child that you help to bring into the world have a right of inheritance to the detriment of your other beneficiaries?
As solicitors who really understand the complex legal relationships involved in surrogacy, donor conception, same sex parenting and other more unusual situations, we can help you to protect your much wanted family.
We prepare specialist wills for families created through fertility treatment or in alternative family structures, including:
- Wills for intended parents and/or surrogate parents in surrogacy situations
- Wills for lesbian couples where only one partner is a legal parent
- Wills to support co-parenting arrangements
- Wills for solo mothers conceiving through donor conception
Our wills are written in plain English, are prepared through an easy service using telephone and email, and are future-proofed wherever possible to ensure that they stand you in good stead as your family grows. Our specialist wills are also typically prepared on a fixed-fee basis.
