It’s easy to put things off, but planning for the future is essential. Did you know that over 70% of the UK population does not have an up-to-date Will that accurately reflects their financial situation and personal wishes? Many people assume that if a spouse passes away, their estate automatically transfers to the surviving partner – this is not always the case.
Creating a legally valid Will ensures that your money, property, and possessions are distributed according to your wishes. Without one, your estate will be divided according to intestacy laws, which may not reflect your preferences, leaving loved ones unprotected and potentially increasing your Inheritance Tax liability.
A Will provides clarity and reassurance for those left behind, removing uncertainty and reducing emotional and financial stress. It also plays a key role in Inheritance Tax planning, helping to structure your affairs to minimise tax liabilities.
Your Will should be reviewed and updated whenever your financial or personal circumstances change, such as marriage, entering a civil partnership, having children, or moving home. We can also provide expert advice on Living Wills (see our Lifetime Planning section).
