Wills Solicitors in Buckinghamshire – Secure Your Legacy with Expert Legal Advice
Making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are followed after your death. Yet it’s something many people delay – often until it’s too late. At Davis Law, we make the process straightforward, confidential, and fully tailored to you.
We work with individuals and families across Buckinghamshire to draft, update and store legally valid wills that reflect your wishes and safeguard your estate. Whether you have a simple estate or more complex circumstances involving property, children from previous relationships, or business interests, we’re here to help you get everything in order with clarity and peace of mind.
As experienced private client solicitors, we’ll provide clear advice in plain English and ensure your will stands up legally, so there’s no uncertainty or unnecessary stress for your loved ones later on.
Why You Need a Legally Valid Will
A legally valid will ensures that:
- Your assets go to the people you choose
- You can appoint guardians for minor children
- You protect vulnerable beneficiaries
- Your estate is managed by people you trust
- You reduce the risk of family disputes or inheritance challenges
- You may be able to reduce Inheritance Tax liability
Without a will, the law decides how your estate is divided – regardless of your wishes or relationships. This can cause distress, delay, and unintended consequences for the people left behind.
Our will-writing solicitors in Buckinghamshire ensure that your wishes are documented correctly and that your will is valid under UK law. We also ensure it is stored securely and can be updated whenever your circumstances change.

Who Should Make a Will?
Everyone over the age of 18 should consider making a will, especially if:
- You own property or significant savings
- You have children under 18
- You’re part of a blended or extended family
- You’re unmarried but in a long-term relationship
- You want to provide for stepchildren or relatives
- You have business or investment interests
- You’ve recently divorced, remarried, or lost a partner
- You want to leave money to charity
If you already have a will but your circumstances have changed, we can review and update it to ensure it remains valid and effective.
If your situation involves more complex planning – such as a second marriage, blended family, or business ownership – we’ll guide you through the necessary legal structures, including trusts and lifetime gifting. You can explore our full estate planning services here.

FAQs – Making a Will
How much does it cost to make a will?
We offer fixed-fee wills for most clients, with costs depending on the complexity of your estate and instructions. We’ll confirm all fees in advance with no hidden charges.
Do I need a solicitor to write a will?
It’s not a legal requirement, but having a solicitor draft your will ensures it’s legally valid, clearly worded, and less likely to be challenged. DIY wills often cause problems later.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you die without a will (intestate), your estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. This may exclude unmarried partners, stepchildren, or causes you support.
Can I update my will?
Yes. We recommend reviewing your will after any major life event – such as marriage, divorce, birth of children, or property purchase. We can update your will easily and securely.
