Things We Don’t Like to Think About

As we’re nearing Christmas and slowly switching off from work and daily to-do lists, we focus more on our family and those who matter to us. I’m definitely looking forward to putting my feet up for a few days and building Lego sets with my boys.

It’s also a time of year that makes me think of those who aren’t around anymore and, albeit an unnerving thought, I can’t help but worry about ‘what would happen if…’

Making a Will

I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve not had a will written until recently, and having two little kids to provide for, this just wasn’t on. When it comes to making a will, I wasn’t too sure where to start – will making online and free will making are some options out there but once you start looking into it, it’s pretty mind boggling.

Luckily, I came across Will Power Worthing Ltd who have taken me through the process step-by-step and explained everything I needed to know and what the implications of different options are.

Who needs a will?

This experience made me think of you – my clients. I know many of you don’t have an up to date will. And most people don’t even have a properly drafted trust and lasting power of attorney – or don’t know they could/should have them and what they mean. There’s a trend for online or low cost will writing, which often may not provide what you need, without you even knowing it!

Recent changes to legislation mean that even if you’ve made your will, you should have it reviewed regularly to ensure it’s up to date with current law.

I was surprised to hear that, if you don’t have your own will, the government makes one for you, meaning there is no guarantee that your estate will go to the people you would have chosen.

A will makes it much easier, and potentially much quicker for your family and friends to sort everything out when you die, and according to your wishes. Wills can reduce the amount of inheritance tax that might be payable. Writing a will is especially important if you have children or other family who depend on you financially.

How much does will writing cost?

This very much depends on what your will includes and what your overall requirements are. It really varies from a simple admin fee to a few hundred pounds if your circumstances are more demanding. However, their first meeting is free of charge and very informative, and there is no obligation to take their advice.
