Why Do You Need a Will?

Creating a Will is essential, regardless of the size of your estate. Here are some key reasons why having a Will is important:

1. Control Over Distribution: Without a Will, the law dictates how your money, property, and possessions are distributed, which may not align with your wishes.
2. Protecting Your Partner: Unmarried partners or those not in a registered civil partnership cannot inherit from each other unless a Will is in place. This can lead to significant financial challenges for the surviving partner.
3. Child Care Arrangements: If you have children, a Will allows you to name guardians to care for them if both parents pass away, ensuring that your children are looked after by someone you trust.
4. Tax Benefits: With proper estate planning and a well-drafted Will, you may be able to reduce inheritance tax liabilities.
5. Life Changes: If your personal circumstances change, such as separation, remarriage, or the birth of children, you should update your Will to reflect these changes and ensure your assets are distributed as you intend.

Why Appoint a Guardian in Your Will?

Appointing a guardian in your Will is crucial if you have children under 18. Here’s why:

1. Legal Responsibility: A guardian will be legally responsible for your children in the event of your death before they turn 18, if the other parent is deceased or unable to care for them.
2. Choosing the Right Person: You have the freedom to choose who will care for your children. Ideally, this will be someone close to your family or a trusted friend who has a strong bond with your children.
3. Avoid Court Intervention: Without a designated guardian, the court will decide who cares for your children, and it may not be someone you would have chosen.

Why Do You Need a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf regarding finances, property, and health care if you are no longer able to make these decisions yourself. This provides peace of mind, ensuring your affairs are managed according to your wishes when you are unable to do so.
