Why have a review?
A Will on its own may not protect everything you have worked for
Many people have a Will in place, but have never reviewed whether their home, their family wealth and their future decision-making arrangements are properly protected.
Circumstances change. Families change. Legislation changes. A Will written some years ago may no longer do what you assume it does — and it may say nothing at all about care costs, mental capacity, or protecting an inheritance once it has passed on.
- Could future care costs affect my home and savings?
- Will my Will still achieve what I want?
- Could my children's inheritance be affected by divorce, bankruptcy or creditors?
- What happens if I lose mental capacity?
- Could a Living Trust be appropriate for my circumstances?
Our core services
Everything we do supports one aim protecting your family
Wills
Writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes for the future are honored. Incorporating wills with trusts can provide an added layer of security, and exploring options like lasting powers of attorney and care cost prevention trusts is essential.
Protect Your Home & Family Wealth
A Living Trust can help provide greater protection and control over your home and other assets, helping to preserve your estate for your family and future generations. Depending on your circumstances, it can also provide valuable protection where future care costs, probate, divorce, bankruptcy or creditor claims are a concern.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Put the right legal protections in place with a Lasting Power of Attorney. An LPA allows the people you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so yourself, which is crucial for preventing unexpected care costs.
