Recently featured in the Daily Mail, a family dispute over an £400,000 estate ended in court after an elderly woman changed her will following a falling-out with relatives. The disagreement stemmed from her great-nephew’s parents suggesting she move into a care home - a comment she found deeply offensive. Originally set to inherit under an older will, the great-nephew contested the new will, claiming lack of capacity, but the judge upheld the aunt’s final wishes. This case is a stark reminder of how sensitive family dynamics and unclear planning can lead to costly, emotional battles.
What could have been done differently?

✓ Early Communication – Families should have open, honest conversations about care needs and financial arrangements before tensions arise.
✓ Clear, Updated Wills – Regularly review and update your will to reflect your current wishes and circumstances.
✓ Consider a Letter of Wishes – This can explain the reasoning behind your decisions, reducing misunderstandings.
✓ Use Professional Advice – A solicitor can help structure your estate plan to minimize ambiguity and prevent challenges.
✓ Lasting Powers of Attorney – Appoint trusted individuals to make decisions if you become unable to do so, avoiding disputes about care.

If something happened and you couldn’t make decisions about your health or care… who would? 🤔

Most people assume their spouse, partner, or closest family member would automatically take charge. But in reality, that’s not always the case.

Without legal authority, even your closest loved ones might not be able to make vital decisions about:

💉 Your medical treatment
🏥 Where and how you’re cared for
💬 Whether you're kept on life support
🧠 Daily wellbeing and routine decisions

That’s where a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) comes in. This legal document allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf, if you're ever unable to do so yourself.

It gives peace of mind to you and your loved ones—knowing your wishes will be respected, and the right person is legally empowered to act.

If you are in need of any assistance, please contact our team today on [email protected]

✍️ Thinking about writing a Will? Here are your FAQ's answer:

1️⃣ What happens to my estate if I do not make a Will? Without a valid Will, your assets are distributed by law—not by your wishes. Intestacy rules may mean loved ones or partners you intended to provide for receive nothing. Plus, your estate might face higher inheritance tax.

2️⃣ What do I need to think about before making a Will? Before your initial meeting, it is helpful if you consider the following:

- What you own (property, savings, belongings)
- Who you want to leave things to (family, friends, charities)
- Who should be your Executors (to carry out your wishes)
- Guardians for your children (if under 18)
- Whether you need trusts or tax planning

3️⃣ Will my estate have to pay Inheritance Tax when I die? You can pass on up to £325K tax-free, or up to £1M as a couple if your home goes to children/grandchildren. Business, farming, or leaving money to charity - you could reduce the tax further.

4️⃣ Can I stop someone from making a claim against my estate? Not completely - but you can take steps to protect it. If you’re excluding someone (like a former partner, child, or dependant), you can:

- Clearly state this in your Will
- Write a letter explaining why

This won’t prevent a claim, but it can help defend your wishes.

If you are in need of any assistance with drawing up your will, contact our Wills, Trusts and Probate Team on [email protected] to arrange a consulation.
