Who Should Make a Will ?
If you die without making a will, you are deemed to have died 'intestate' and the law - rather than you - decides who inherits your estate.
So in short almost everyone will benefit by making a Will.
In particular you especially need to make a Will......
If you are single
If you are married
If you have children or step-children
If you are co-habiting
If you are divorced or remarried
If you are a property owner
If you are a sole director of a business
If you are retired you may already have a Will in need of refreshing for example it may need to inlcude grandchildren.
Or If you simply do not want the Government to take your assets and become another case for the 'Heir Hunters'!

Will Trusts
Trusts are a way of protecting assets (money, investments, land, buildings, shares or even antiques) for the people you want to benefit.
To learn how Will Trusts can be included in your Will click on the "Trusts" button at the top of the page
Powers of Attorney
Whereas a Will takes care of your affairs after your death granting Powers of Attorney will make sure that your wishes wll be carried out in the evnt of any future incapacity.
A power of attorney is a document appointing someone to act for the granter and to make decisions on behalf of the granter. The person who grants the power is called the 'granter' and the person appointed is known as the 'attorney'.
Anyone concerned to make plans for the future should consider making a power of attorney. A power of attorney can be useful both for someone anticipating the chance of a permanent incapacity or to deal with periods of incapacity in the future.
Powers of attorney can deal with financial and/or welfare matters.
For more details on powers of attorney including the responsibilities click on the "Power of Attorney" at the top of the page
Inheritance Tax Planning
Inheritance tax is a tax which is paid on the things of value you leave behind when you die. This is called your estate. Inheritance tax will need to be paid if the value of your estate adds up to more than £325,000 and it is charged at 40% on assets above the nil rate(£325,000)

Executors
Under UK law you do not need to appoint ´legal professionals´ to act as an executor or trustee of your estate, unless there is a likelihood of a complex Trust arising. Professional executors will charge your estate to act, and in many cases, for duties that a layperson could have done.
For most people it is better to appoint a member of your family, a prime beneficiary or close personal friend to act, remember: Beware of national Will writing company consultants (salesmen), banks and solicitors who offer cheap Wills. They seek to include a clause in your Will that appoints them as executors usually for a percentage of your estate. We believe it is unethical for the people that draft the Will to include themselves as beneficiaries in any way. If it is too good to be true it usually is!
We explain why you need executors, what their duties are and how you appoint them...
