Making a will valid in Northern Ireland

Common questions
A little clarity can make starting easier.
Is Wills NI a law firm?
No. Wills NI is an independent information and solicitor-finding service operated by Supacel Technologies Ltd. Any legal advice comes directly from the independent solicitor you choose.
Does requesting a consultation commit me to anything?
No. You can ask about experience, availability and the full price before deciding whether to instruct a solicitor.
Can I make my own will?
It is possible, but errors in wording or signing may only be discovered after death. Professional advice is particularly sensible where family, property, business or tax arrangements are not straightforward.
Will my enquiry be treated as legal advice?
No. Your enquiry only explains the help you are looking for. A solicitor must formally accept your instructions before a solicitor-client relationship begins.
