FAQs

 Do I really need a Will?

Yes. A Will ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes. Without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed under the Rules of Intestacy, which may not reflect your intentions or provide for the people you care about.

What happens if I die without a Will?

If you die without a valid Will, the law decides who inherits your estate. This could mean that loved ones, unmarried partners or close friends receive nothing, regardless of your wishes.

 When should I update my Will?

We recommend reviewing your Will every few years or whenever there is a significant life event, such as:

* Marriage or civil partnership

* Divorce or separation

* The birth of a child or grandchild

* Purchasing a property

* A change in financial circumstances

* The death of an executor or beneficiary

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. There are two types: one covering Property and Financial Affairs and another covering Health and Welfare.

Do I need a Lasting Power of Attorney if I already have a Will?

Yes. A Will only takes effect after your death. A Lasting Power of Attorney protects you during your lifetime if you lose the ability to make decisions yourself.

What is a Trust?

A Trust is a legal arrangement that allows assets to be managed for the benefit of others. Depending on your circumstances, a Trust can help protect family assets, provide for children or vulnerable beneficiaries, and offer greater control over how your estate is distributed.

 How long does the process take?

Preparing your documents is usually straightforward and can often be completed within a few weeks. If you're arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney, registration with the Office of the Public Guardian can take several weeks, depending on processing times.
