Ferguson Bricknell Solicitors Do I really need a solicitor to draw up my will? Yes.  A Will is a legal document, and lawyers have the necessary training to make sure that your Will does what you want.  There are often very considerable tax advantages in drafting the Will one way rather than another. We have considerable experience in drafting Wills and in tax law which will enable us to tailor your Will to your exact requirements. Remember that Solicitors can make more money from sorting out the muddle caused by a home made Will than from administering a professionally drafted Will.
