Wills in Berkshire
Having a valid will is essential, yet many people have not taken this crucial step. Here are some key statistics:
- According to research, around 57% of UK adults still don’t have a will, which can lead to legal problems for loved ones.
- The Berkshire Record Office holds an index of over 38,000 wills, administrations, and inventories from 1480 to 1857, showing the historical significance of will-writing in the region.
- In 2023, the UK wills, trusts, and probate market was valued at £2.6 billion, with a 5.4% increase from 2022, indicating growing demand for professional will-writing services.
- While specific Berkshire data is limited, local solicitors report a steady rise in will-writing inquiries in 2023, particularly in urban areas like Reading and Slough, reflecting increased awareness of estate planning.
These figures highlight the importance of having a properly drafted will. Marley Solicitors is committed to helping Berkshire residents plan their legacies effectively.
