A Will sets out what you want to happen to everything you leave behind. An LPA lets you choose trusted individuals to make decisions for you whilst you’re still here. Most people need both — and most people put it off. We make it one short appointment and a fixed fee.
We pride ourselves on making life as simple as possible for you during your life, and for your loved ones after you’ve passed away.
We keep it simple. A conversation (or as many as you need), clear advice and options you understand. If you ask us to prepare your Will and LPAs, we’ll take care of the paperwork, witness your signatures and store your documents for you. All included, apart from the LPA registration fee (£92 per LPA).
If you die without a Will, rigid government rules (“the Rules of Intestacy”) decide who receives your money, property and possessions.
These Rules prioritise beneficiaries (those who inherit) in a particular order. For instance, the first priority for inheritance is the spouse. Then, any children. If you don’t have a spouse or any children, your closest living blood relatives will inherit.
It’s important to state that friends, unmarried partners and charities are not included within the Rules of Intestacy. They also don’t include specific gifts or items.
The best way to ensure your wishes are reflected is to write a Will and not let the law decide for you.
A Guardian is someone you appoint in your Will to care for and raise your children if you die while they are under 18.
If your children have another parent who has parental responsibility, that parent would normally continue to have a role in deciding how and where your children are raised.
However, there may be circumstances where there is no surviving parent who can care for the children. In these circumstances, your chosen Guardian can step in to care for them.
Including a Guardianship clause in your Will allows you to record who you would want to care for your children if you were no longer able to do so.
When two people have the same wishes for their Wills, this can be reflected in a pair of Mirror Wills.
They’re often used by couples who want to leave everything to each other, and then to the same people, such as their children, when both have passed away.
A trust in your Will can give you more control over what happens to your assets after your death.
Trusts can be used in different ways. They can protect assets, provide for children or other family members, or allow assets to be managed for someone who may need extra support.
The right type of trust will depend on your circumstances and what you want to achieve.
