Making a Will is a straightforward process provided that you receive the correct legal advice beforehand. Even if your affairs are complex making a Will does not have to be a worrying experience. However consider the following disturbing fact:
Each year 70,000 people have to sell their homes to pay for long term care; their families are disinherited. A correctly written Will can safeguard your property as well as ensuring proper protection for the following:
Your dependants have access to funds with the minimum of delay and expense at a very difficult time.
Allows you to choose your own executors and the trustees.
Allows you to appoint guardians for your children. An unmarried father may not be granted automatic guardianship of any children on the death of the mother.
Ensures any stepchildren will inherit. Stepchildren do not automatically inherit unless mentioned in a Will.
Allows you to pass on particular gifts or make special provisions for loved ones and/or charities.
Protects your property from passing under inheritance law to a new marriage partner hence safeguarding your children´s inheritance.
Can reduce your Inheritance Tax liability by up to £120,000.
Ensures unmarried partners would inherit.
