It may have cost you.

Law firms have revealed January is the busiest time for people changing their wills.

Removing loved ones from inheritance agreements.

Wills solicitors expect calls to increase by 162%.

However, Stephensons Solicitors said it is not as easy as simply “cutting someone out” of a will.

“A will can be challenged and overruled in the courts if it is believed to be unreasonable or purely spiteful.”

“It is important to have legitimate reasons and for those to be expressed clearly”.

Law firms also have a nickname for the first day back at work after Christmas.

It’s called “Divorce Day”.
