Solicitors - Solicitors are usually expensive and in most cases unecessary. There are however some curcumstances where you SHOULD use either the services, or the advice of a solicitor. These are as follows:-

• you share a property with someone who is not your husband, wife or civil partner 
• you wish to make provision for a dependant who is unable to care for themselves
• there are several family members who may make a claim on the will, for example, a   second wife or children from a first marriage
• your permanent home is not in the United Kingdom
• you are not a British citizen
• you are resident here but there is overseas property involved.
• there is a business involved.
