Questions about this kit
Is a letter of wishes legally binding in the UK?+
No. A letter of wishes is not part of your Will and creates no legal obligation. However, trustees and executors are encouraged to take it into account, particularly for discretionary trusts.
Do I need a solicitor to write a letter of wishes?+
No. You can write it yourself using our template. It simply needs to be kept with your Will so your executors can find it.
Can I update my letter of wishes?+
Yes, as often as you like. Because it is not a legal document, there are no formal execution requirements, just replace the old version and let your executor know.
