Still haven't got round to making your Will?
Most people know they should have a Will. But life gets busy, and these jobs often fall to the bottom of the list.
Common concerns we hear include:
-
Is my Will up to date, or do I even have one?
-
Who would make decisions for me if I lost mental capacity?
-
Could my home or savings be at risk from care costs?
-
How can I make sure everything passes smoothly to my family?
-
I’ve remarried or have a blended family, how do I protect everyone fairly?
The truth is, good estate planning brings peace of mind. It prevents disputes, protects assets, and makes life far easier for those left behind.
Why Making a Will Matters
Without a valid Will or clear legal arrangements, your family could face:
-
Lengthy delays during probate
-
Unnecessary tax bills
-
Disputes between relatives
-
Assets passing to the wrong people
-
No control over decisions if you lose mental capacity
Good estate planning isn’t just about distributing your wealth. It’s about making sure your wishes are respected, your loved ones are protected, and your affairs are handled with minimal stress and cost.
We help people every day who want to:
-
Make or update a valid Will
-
Set up Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) for health and finances
-
Use Property Trusts to protect the family home
-
Structure their estate sensibly for blended families
-
Make things as simple and clear as possible for those they leave behind
