From £119.00 For simple estates, naming guardianship for children, giving gifts, and provisions for pets. 31 million UK adults don't have a Will. The only way to guarantee that your preferences are honoured after death is to create a Will. In the absence of a legal Will, your assets will be distributed in accordance with the Intestacy Law. Perhaps this isn't what you had hoped for. In any case, it will probably take longer to complete than it would if you had created a Will. This might cause disputes and concern for your family members because your beneficiaries might not be able to access any funds from your estate during this time. As a local Farnborough Will Writer I am able to help you get started today. Reach out via the contact form or by contacting me on 01252 415340.
From £200.00. For safe guarding assets until minors reach a dependable age, protecting beneficiaries from modern threats such as divorce or debt, or taking care of a vulnerable beneficiary's wellbeing. Imagine you own a house, and you want to ensure it goes to your loved ones after you pass away. Let’s consider Jason and Sandra, a family with two kids living together in the family home. If Jason dies, Sandra becomes the sole owner of that property, and what Jason and Sandra want is for their two kids to inherit the house when they’re both gone. The trouble is there are several modern threats that can occur between both deaths, which could mean the kids receive nothing at all. With the correct planning the mordern threats that could prevent this from happening can be stopped. I provide a Will Writing service in Farnborough. I am able to help you get started today.

With a Lifetime Trust, you choose trustees, maintain flexibility to move homes, and potentially save on probate costs. Lasting up to 125 years. This particular type of trust is called a Family Asset Protect Trust. This planning tool is applicable to various individuals and assets. The FAPT provides added protection, prevents sideways disinheritance, shields against bankruptcy, and may reduce tax bills for future generations.

Consider the FAPT to protect your family's inheritance and financial well-being.
From £250.00. For legally assigning people to make decisions about your health and finances if you are unable to due to incapacity. Planning for the future is crucial to ensure our wishes are respected, particularly in legal matters like a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). An LPA grants trusted individuals the authority to make decisions on our behalf when we are no longer capable. While it's possible to write an LPA yourself, understanding the intricacies and potential challenges is important.
