Wills and Trusts
Why do you need a will?

Whatever your age, if you have assets such as a house, savings, or business, and people or others you would like to look after, it is worth considering making a will. But what does a will do? In summary a will;

Are you able to guarantee that your beneficiaries are one day going to inherit all that is rightfully theirs?
Unfortunately this guarantee is becoming harder and harder to enforce. A simple Will is no longer enough, and it is up to you now to make sure you secure the future against the unexpected.

Protect your assets

The biggest asset most of us own is our home, and it is becoming all too common for your local authorities to sell the homes of our elderly population in order to pay for long-term residential care. More and more families are becoming disheartened by the fact that they are losing what they thought was rightfully theirs, or their children's. Such a loss can financially affect spouse's left behind, and future generations.

Property Trust’ is designed to protect the value of your individual share in your property against any unexpected residential care bills that may occur in the future, so you can guarantee that your local authority can only make a claim on a share of your property, and not all of it.
You can also include a ‘lifetime in possession’ clause in the Trust which means that either spouse/partner can never be removed from the property during their lifetime.

The Trust will also guarantee that on the death of either partner, any children from the relationship will benefit from at least 50% of the value of the property, even if the other partner remarries, or moves to another property.

We offer a variety of packages

Thinking to the future involves more than planning our next holiday, or wondering what we will do when we retire. We also need to think of our children’s future, and make the right plans now. We can help add extra security to their lives and maybe even those of future generations.

Our experienced advisers will carefully explain what all the different options mean, and how they will affect you, your family, and your assets before you decide which package would be suitable.

Jargon Buster
LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney)
You can legally appoint one or more trusted people to help you make decisions on your behalf if you do not have the mantal capacity to do so yourself, such as if you had illness or an accident. Depending on how it is set up they can make decisions about your finance, your medical treatment, and your assets.
Health and Welfare Attorney
This can be added to the LPA to enable the decisions to be made about how you are cared for. It includes your wishes about your daily routine, medical treatments, and where you live should you be unable to make those decisions yourself.
Trust Will, Property Trust, Protective Property Trust
A Trust will add protection to your assets, such as properties that you own, to make sure that the inheritors will benefit from future events. This usually means that your children will be guaranteed a percentage of the value of your property. And that percentage cannot be used for paying for care costs.
Deed of Severance
Without this then both partners will effectively own 100% of the property jointly, and if one dies then the other will own the whole property and do as they want with it. With Severance each partner would only own 50% of the property even when one dies. This is what then stops the property from being sold to pay for care costs, or to stop the surviving partner passing a share of the property on to a new spouse. It can also have beneficial tax implications. Also the percentages could be set unequal (e.g. 60%/40%) if one partner had contributed more to the property than the other.
