A Will sets out how you want your money, property and possessions to be distributed after your death and allows you to appoint guardians for children under the age of 18.

Wills Trusts

A Trust in a Will ensures that beneficiaries don’t receive their inheritance outright. Will Trusts are only set up after you pass away and the Will is read.

Lifetime Trusts

Putting assets in Trust during your lifetime is the ultimate way of protecting them. Living Trusts are more expensive than Will Trusts but they have additional advantages. Will Trusts only become effective when a death occurs.

Probate

When someone passes away, the executors of their Will need to apply for a grant of probate. This can be time-consuming, complex, and easy to make a mistake.

Membership

It’s all too easy for Wills to get lost. They can be misplaced in a house move, or damaged in a fire or flood. If you’ve given your Will to someone for safekeeping, they may not be able to find it at the time you pass away. To avoid this, we offer storage for your Wills.

Why are Wills Crucial?

Family Protection

Wills play a pivotal role in safeguarding your loved ones. By clearly specifying how your assets should be distributed, they alleviate stress during what can be a challenging time. Your Will provides the assurance that your family will be taken care of as you intended.

Peace of Mind

Knowing your wishes are explicitly outlined in your Will brings you and your family peace of mind. It’s a reassuring way to ensure that your legacy lives on as you envisioned.

Avoiding Conflict

Without a Will, family disputes can arise over asset distribution. A carefully drafted Will can prevent these conflicts and preserve family harmony during a difficult period.

Tax Efficiency

Properly structured estate planning and Lifetime Trusts can significantly minimise the tax burdens on your estate. This means more of your hard-earned assets go to your loved ones and causes you care about.
