A growing number of families either do not have a Will or are not using all the facets of Wills and Trusts to protect their estate and the people they leave behind. For example some people may have to sell the family home to pay for long term care in later life. This is often avoidable with forward planning and an appropriately drafted Will.
Specifically I can now offer advice and guidance in the following areas:-
- A Basic Will (or Mirror Will for couples.)
- Children’s Trusts and Guardianship – through your Will you can nominate who you wish to look after your children when you’re no longer around if they are still minors at that time.
- Discretionary Trusts /Right to Reside – through your Will you can stipulate the exact circumstances you wish your estate to be distributed to guard against a variety of circumstances that may arise after your death.
- Protective Property Trusts – significant protection for your property from the potential drain of care home fees.
- Lasting Powers of Attorney – allows you to appoint who you wish to manage your property and personal affairs, and/or personal welfare should you lose capacity to do so yourself.
Although you may already have made a Will it is very possible that your circumstances may have changed since it was made, and you may wish to review matters accordingly.
