Do I really need a Will?

Unless you have discovered the secret of perpetual life, the answer is certainly "YES”

What would happen if you were to die suddenly and unexpectedly without making a Will?

DYING WITHOUT MAKING A WILL can cause unnecessary worry to those you leave behind, coupled with extra expense and often trouble and even family disputes!
YOUR MONEY many end up with those you least wish to benefit
YOUR ESTATE many suffer taxation which could have been avoided
YOUR SPOUSE may be left in financial difficulty, unable to maintain the home
YOUR CHILDREN may well suffer from inadequate provision

Death (even when anticipated) is inevitably a difficult and emotional time. One has a duty to ensure that additional stress and worry is not added to the natural grief and sorrow of one's loved ones. An efficiently drawn up Will can go a long way to avoiding this.

In making a Will:-

YOU will control the situation after your death
YOU will decide who benefits from your estate
YOU will decide who will take charge of your affairs after death

There are many points to consider in drawing up a Will, including - the distribution of your assets – the choice of suitable Executors - what to do to avoid paying too much tax - guardians for the children - what to do in the event of members of your family (or friends) "dying in the wrong order" - how to be just and fair to your dependents.

'Making a Will really does bring you peace of mind in the knowledge that the right thing has been done for your family.'

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Who’s going to look after your affairs when you can’t?
With a Lasting Power of Attorney you decide!

Making a Will ensures that your assets pass in the way you want and to whom you want when you die. BUT what if you lose either your mental capacity or physical ability to manage your finances or are mentally unable to make decisions on your welfare before you die? How can you ensure that decisions in these circumstances are taken by someone chosen by YOU?

Lasting Powers of Attorney are the best way to to ensure that your affairs and welfare are organised in a way you would wish. Although the forms to create a Lasting Power of Attorney are long they are relatively easy to understand.
