Liam Payne died with £24 million… and no will.

Now, his 9-year-old son will inherit everything — but only at 18. Until then, his ex controls the estate. His fiancée gets nothing.

Dying without a will doesn’t just affect celebrities. If you have children, an ex, or a partner you’re not married to — the law may not protect them.

At Yates Legal we specialise in wills and inheritance planning.

Protect your loved ones. Make a Will.

Have you checked your will recently?

A professionally drafted will does more than pass on your assets — it can help to:

• Reduce inheritance tax
• Protect against future care costs
• Ensure your children inherit, even if your spouse remarries

This May, we’re offering free Will reviews with solicitor Karen Yates at Yates Legal.

❓Are Your Loved Ones Truly Protected❓

Were you born between 1970 and 1975?
If so, now is the time to make or update your Will.

Many people start thinking seriously about their Will in their early 50s, but without the right planning, your assets may not go where you intend on your death.

Without a well-structured Will:

➡️ Your house or savings could be at risk if your partner remarries or needs care.

➡️ Your children may not receive the full inheritance you planned for them.

➡️ More of your wealth could be lost to inheritance tax unnecessarily.

At Yates Legal, we specialise in Wills and inheritance planning to protect your assets and ensure your family’s future is secure.

We offer appointments in person or via zoom so you can schedule a meeting during your lunch break if that’s better for you. You can even choose and book a time via our website.

Don’t leave it to chance. To start planning for the future, book your free consultation today.

Remember though, marriage revokes a Will, so if you’re marrying and still want to provide for children from a previous relationship, you need to make or update your Will.

Anything you leave to your spouse (married / civil partner) is EXEMPT from inheritance tax.

But unfortunately, this doesn't apply to those who are just cohabiting, no matter how long you've been together.

This MoneySaver found out the hard way. Don't let it happen to you.

Did you know this? It’s really important to keep your pension nominee form up to date, especially following a major life event such as a birth/death/divorce/marriage and review it regularly alongside your Will.

Pension savings aren't usually covered by a will, so if you don't fill in an 'expression of wishes' form, your provider will decide who your pension goes to if you die 😬
