There is nothing magical, mysterious, or particularly difficult about making a Will. Over the years a usual format has develop but there is nothing sacred about this, providing your Will meets the requirements which were set out long ago in the Wills Act of 1839.

The only particular drafting skill required is to ensure that nothing in your Will is ambiguous (can be interpreted in more than one way) or open to misinterpretation. You must also always make your intentions perfectly clear.

Providing your intentions are clear and you satisfy the quite straightforward formalities for a valid Will in the Wills Act your Will is perfectly valid and enforceable. This Guide and the examples provided could be all that you need.
