Oxfordshire Will Writing Service with Marley Solicitors

Creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are provided for after you’re gone. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in helping Oxfordshire residents draft clear, legally binding wills that protect their assets and reflect their intentions. Whether you’re planning for your family’s future, appointing guardians for your children, or distributing your estate, our experienced solicitors offer compassionate, expert guidance to make the process straightforward and stress-free.

Why choose us for your will?

At Marley Solicitors, we understand that writing a will can feel overwhelming, but our dedicated team is here to simplify the process. We provide personalised advice to create a will tailored to your circumstances, ensuring it is robust and legally sound under the Wills Act 1837. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs and guide you through every step, from identifying beneficiaries to appointing executors.

We offer:

• Expert guidance: Our solicitors explain complex legal terms, such as trusts or inheritance tax planning, in clear language to help you make informed decisions.
• Tailored wills: We draft wills that reflect your specific wishes, including provisions for property, finances, sentimental items, and charitable gifts.
• Secure storage: We offer safe storage options for your will and provide copies to ensure it’s easily accessible when needed.
• Flexible appointments: We can meet you at your home in Oxfordshire, at a care home, or via video call for your convenience.

Will writing statistics for Oxfordshire

Having a valid will is crucial for Oxfordshire residents to avoid intestacy complications, yet many still lack one. Regional and national statistics highlight the importance of will writing:

• Low will prevalence: Nationally, 59% of UK adults have not made a will, with the South East, including Oxfordshire, reflecting similar trends, particularly among younger adults aged 18–34, where only 14% have a will (Canada Life, 2023).
• Intestacy risks: In 2022, over 6,000 estates in England and Wales, including those in Oxfordshire, were subject to intestacy rules due to the absence of a will, often leading to unintended inheritance outcomes and family disputes (HMRC, 2022).
• Demographic trends: Oxfordshire’s ageing population, with 9% of residents over 65, increases the demand for wills, especially for complex estates involving property or blended families, yet only 44% of over-55sin the South East have an up-to-date will (YouGov, 2021).

These statistics underscore the need to create a will with professional support to ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes, minimising stress for your loved ones.

How we can help Oxfordshire residents

Marley Solicitors supports residents across Oxfordshire, including those in popular postcodes such as OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX5, OX7, OX9, OX11, and OX14. Whether you’re planning your estate in Thame, appointing guardians in Wantage, or updating a will in Carterton, we can help you create a will that covers:

• Distribution of assets, including property, savings, and personal items.
• Appointment of executors to manage your estate.
• Guardianship for minor children or dependants.
• Provisions for trusts to protect vulnerable beneficiaries or minimise inheritance tax.
• Charitable bequests or specific funeral wishes.

We ensure your will is legally valid, properly signed, and witnessed, and we advise on updates to reflect life changes, such as marriage, divorce, or new grandchildren. We also provide guidance on related matters, like Lasting Powers of Attorney, to complement your estate planning.
