Making a will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death. If you have not made a valid will, all of your property and chattels will pass according to the Rules of Intestacy, often with consequences you may have wanted to avoid.
If you do not leave a will it can cause delays, upset and frustration for your loved ones after your death as they must follow a strict legal procedure to deal with your estate and in the meantime, your assests, including joint assests, will more than likely be frozen. If you own a property or have children under 18, it is even more important that you make a will. Properties can be owned in different ways and this can affect how you pass them on and who can benefit from your property on your death. Married? You shouldn't assume that your spouse would automatically receive everything on your death as depending on the value of your estate this may not be the case. If you previously made a will but have got married since, your will would now be invalid unless there was a contemplation of marriage clause included. Unmarried? If you are living with your partner but are not married, you would be treated as single person on death and your partner would not have a right to administer your estate or receive a share. In this case, everything would pass to your children, or if you don't have children it would go to your parents or siblings. Parents? If you have young children, you should appoint a guardian within your will so that you can have peace of mind that if you were to die, your chosen individuals rather than it being up to the courts to decide who would look after your children. Previous Relationship? Family life can be much more complicated than it used to be with more and more people getting divorced or having to provide for children from previous relationships. It is important to make a will in this situation to ensure that you provide for all relevant parties and don't leave anybody out who could reasonably expect to recieve a share of your estate. It may also be important to protect inheritance for your children rather than risk your partner/spouse receiving everything and then changing their own will and disinheriting your children from receiving a share in the future on their deaths. Retired? Even if you have made a will previously, it is important to regularly review your will to take into account any changes in circumstances and to make sure that your will is as effective as possible for things like potential care fees in the future amongst others. Inheritance Tax? If your estate may be liable for inheritance tax on your death, it is important that you make a will as there may well be provisions that could be put in place to ensure that your affairs are dealt with in a more tax efficient way. |
Lasting Powers of Attorney With more and more people being diagnosed with dementia and other related illnesses, as well as accidents on the road or from sports, it has never been more important to consider putting protection in place in case you were to lose capacity and become unable to manage your own affairs. Lasting Power of Attorney allow you to appoint people of your choosing to look after either your property and financial affairs or your health and welfare. If you were to lose mental capacity without having LPAs in place, your loved ones would have to apply to the court for a Deputyship Order in order to manage your affairs, which is a costly and time-consuming process. Furthermore, these orders are usually very restrictive on your loved ones so it is important to put LPAs in place before anything happens.
