Adequately Provide for Your Loved Ones
Making a Will gives you control over how your estate will be distributed after you pass away. There are many ways in which you can provide for your loved ones through a Will, and ensure that those you care about most have a share in your estate. You can also leave specific gifts to whomever you wish, as well as leaving charitable donations. However, the biggest benefit we find our customers experience through making a Will is the peace of mind that their affairs are in order, and that should something happen to them, they know everything is taken care of.
Protect your Family from Disputes
When you fail to write a Will, the law pre-determines how your estate will be distributed. You will have no say as to who gets what or how much, regardless of your relationship with those people in your lifetime. Failing to write a Will can create many problems for those you leave behind, and even result in family disputes. The best way to ensure all of those you wish to be provided for are adequately taken care of, and to avoid additional stress for family and friends at an already difficult time, is to write a Will.

Two Popular Common Questions....
How do you protect your assets How to protect your
from your children's spouses? assets like Jade Goody?
The most commonly used structure within a will to achieve this control is called a discretionary trust. The effect of passing your assets into such a trust is to provide no clear beneficiary for your assets.
Instead your assets are controlled by chosen trustees (often your executors) who have the discretion to pay capital or income to your children as they deem fit. They are often chosen for their neutrality and can be professional trustees. You will look to guide them by drafting a 'letter of wishes', which should include your wish to protect your assets from any divorce and misadventure of your children. However the letter of wishes is not legally binding and the trustees can chose not to follow it, especially if a change of circumstances make your wishes less relevant. The beneficiaries would be your children and grandchildren. There would be no defined shares as to who inherits what as this aspect is based solely on the discretion of the trustees. Discretionary trusts are often created to protect against the divorce of a beneficiary. They are not totally 'bullet proof' as the divorce courts have wide ranging powers. Generally, however, if the courts see a long-term family trust designed not just for your children but also your grandchildren, they are less likely to include trust assets in the divorce final reckoning. The discretionary trust has an added benefit that if your children die with money still in the trust, then there is no inheritance tax when it passes down to your grandchildren. In contrast if you leave assets directly to your children and they have a happy marriage but die before their spouse, their spouse is likely to inherit all of their assets – in other words, your assets. The spouse may then get remarried and/or could decide not to leave those assets to your grandchildren which could lead to money falling outside your immediate family structure. A discretionary trust will make this less likely. What are the pitfalls of ringfencing assets in a trust? Unfortunately, with all good concepts there are downsides. You are putting a lot of pressure on the trustees, so choosing the right people is vital. There is an annual expense of running such a trust and also there are 10-year anniversary charges of up to 6 per cent of the capital value above £325,000. However this may be less than would be lost in a divorce! If such a trust is not for you then you could leave some assets straight to your grandchildren and entirely miss out your children. However if they were to inherit this at a young age then the loss to your assets may be as great. One thing is certain, you must seek professional legal advice. The pros and cons of the trust route will be explained in more detail and then you can make an informed decision. |
The details of tragic TV personality Jade Goody’s Will have been revealed to a newspaper.
She took advice from estate planning solicitors before her death in 2009 in order to ensure that her two children will receive all of her £3 million fortune, the News of the World states. Husband Jack Tweed is named as a beneficiary, which will save more than £1 million in inheritance tax as assets passed on through a spouse are not liable, he only inherited her £16,000 car. In contrast, sons Freddie, six, and Bobby, five, benefit from £312,000 in a Nil Rate Band Trust and a further £2.7 million in a Residuary Trust Fund. Her executors will be her three best friends. “All the efforts of her trustees will be towards maximising the amount of money available to the children,” a source told the newspaper. A trust is an arrangement which sees property and assets managed by a person or a group of people for the benefit of another. How can we help you?
