WILL WRITERS IN HEMEL HEMPSTEADAPS Legal & AssociatesCompany: APS Legal & Associates Address: High Wycombe, Beaconsfield, and surrounding areas Category: Hemel Hempstead Will Writers Telephone: 0845 430 4600 - Quote reference APS0024 E-mail: enquiries@apsla.co.uk Consider these jargon free disturbing facts: If you are an unmarried couple and don´t make a will the government will make one for you and bequeath to themselves up to £120,000 that you otherwise could have legally avoided. If you don´t take care of making provision for the possibility of you or your partner needing long term care the government will do that for you by applying a 100% ´tax´ on all your assets (home included) over and above the first £21,500. If you don´t plan for the contingency that you and your partner die leaving young children they will be retained within the system, for months and even years, at Her Majesty´s pleasure despite the fact that you have willing and capable friends and relatives to look after them. If you become mentally incapacitated, temporarily or permanently, the government will manage your affairs for you even if you have a partner perfectly capable of doing so unless, of course, you make provision now. No matter how many copies of your will can be found after your death, if the original is not retrieved you will have been deemed to die without making one. If you have made a will but not had your estate planned fully and properly and one of your beneficiaries is physically or mentally impaired and in care, you may have inadvertently bequeathed almost all his inheritance to the government. Without a will it is not certain that your spouse will inherit all your assets. For unmarried couples your partner may not receive anything at all. If you are divorced or separated your ex-partner can successfully lay claim to your estate despite your undocumented wishes to the contrary. If you die and your partner re-marries by accident or design your children could lose all their inheritance. You may think your estate does not qualify for inheritance tax but if you have a life assurance policy or a death in service benefit you are probably wrong. If you have assets abroad the Government will assess your entire estate for tax purposes and deduct the proceeds from your UK estate unless you do something about it. If the above does not cause you to take immediate action then nothing will.
