Kicky Shrimp is right … but not in every situation. Never my professional field, but I have become 'involved' in sorting out the consequences of a few home made wills where the deceased strayed beyond - or didn't quite get to - the simple 'who gets yer stuff'. In the few cases I got involved with the deceased wasn't aware of the possibility of beneficiaries all agreeing to change the will after death, so a deliberately insulting bequest was 'corrected'; specified what they perceived as their estate and left chunks of their estate out, so partial intestacy and family rows as a result; took no account of possible IHT savings, thus reducing the net estate (presumably inadvertently).

For simple estates and simple wills lawyer drafting shouldn't be necessary, but some guidance on what the law regards as simple, and the ways testamentary intention can be challenged could be helpful.
