Read MoreThe perils of ‘’do it yourself’’ and out-of-date Wills
In the bedroom drawers of houses up and down the land lie thousands of invalid or out-of-date wills. Invalid, perhaps, because they’ve not properly been dated and signed in the presence of two witnesses - or which have been automatically revoked by a re-marriage......
Read MoreIf you don’t currently have a will
- Do you have children under the age of 18 - where will they live if you don’t specify your wishes in a Will?
- Is your property in joint names – if not who will inherit your home if the legal owner dies without a Will?
- How would your partner survive if you died?
- Who stands to benefit most if you die without a will? – is this who you would choose?
- Did you know that even if you are married or in a civil partnership, if you don’t have a Will, you will NOT automatically inherit all of your spouse's estate – in most cases you will only get the first £250,000 and a life interest in the remainder.
Your assets are not placed in Trust
- Would you like to protect their inheritance against being lost or significantly reduced if one of these things happened?
- If you die and your partner re-marries and then dies themselves – is your children’s inheritance protected?
- Is your life insurance in trust for the person you want it to go to or will it go into your estate and potentially be liable for inheritance tax at 40%?
- If you or your partner requires long term residential care will you be forced to sell your home to pay for it?
What if you lose mental capacity?
- Do you assume you will automatically be granted Power of attorney for your partner should they lose mental capacity?
- Do you know that even if you are married you will not get Power of Attorney automatically granted to you?
- If you live alone who would you like to make decisions regarding your welfare if needed?
- Do you want your affairs to be controlled by the court of protection?
- Lasting Power of Attorney has to be granted by yourself while you have full mental capacity, it cannot be taken or assumed if you lose it – at that stage it is too late.
- What impact would being forced to attend court to ask for the permission of a total stranger to conduct your private family affairs have upon the quality of life of yourself and your loved ones?
The advantages of a Pre-paid Funeral Plan
- This is something that would usually need to be paid for well before any legacies that you may leave would have been disbursed often putting significant financial pressure upon your loved ones.
- Funeral prices have risen over 40% in the last 5 years and the trend is not slowing.
- You can prevent all the uncertainty and guarantee that all your funeral expenses will be taken care of when the time comes by simply choosing the plan that’s right for you today.
