Ever wondered what actually happens to your WhatsApp or Instagram once you're gone?

It's not as simple as your executor just logging in.

Most people plan for the house, the savings, the physical stuff. Almost nobody plans for their online accounts, and every platform handles it differently. Some offer a way in for family. Some don't offer anything at all.

If you've never thought about this, you're not alone, most people haven't. It's a quick thing to sort though, and honestly one people are surprised isn't already covered.

Getting a will properly sorted, digital accounts included, is easier than people expect. makeawillonline.co.uk, link in bio.

“Lasting Powers of Attorney complaints hit a record.” That was the FT last Saturday, and it’s a stark headline for anyone with parents getting older, or a future of their own to plan for.

So does that mean skipping an LPA altogether? No. It means going in with your eyes open.

If there’s someone you trust completely, a self-registered LPA is still better than nothing. If you can afford proper help, a solicitor is worth it, and going direct can cost up to around £1,500. Through Capacity Vault the professional fee is £120, and the clauses, instructions and preferences you’re walked through are there to protect you if things ever go wrong. Limits, oversight and safeguards on what your attorneys can do, instead of relying purely on their better nature.

An executor won't apply for probate. Is the will just... stuck?

No, and this is worth knowing if it's happening to your family.

Being named executor doesn't mean someone has to act, but it also doesn't mean they get to sit on it forever while everyone else waits. There's a real process for exactly this situation.

If this is dragging on for you, it's worth understanding what's actually possible, makeawillonline.co.uk, click the link in bio.

Parents getting divorced later in life? Here's something worth checking.

While they're still legally married, existing wills stand exactly as written. Once the divorce is finalised though, an ex-spouse gets treated as if they'd already died, they're automatically cut out.

What doesn't happen automatically is everything reshuffling neatly to the kids. Depending how the will was worded, that gap can sit unresolved.

Divorce is one of those moments people forget to update a will for, everyone thinks of remarriage, almost nobody thinks of this.

If a parent's going through a divorce, it's worth them getting the will looked at properly, makeawillonline.co.uk, click the link in bio.

Let's get into this one, because I see this more than people realise.

You had power of attorney for your mum. You moved in, gave up your own place, and cared for her round the clock. No agency carer, no care home. You didn't pay rent either, because you weren't renting a room, you were caring for her full time.

Now she's passed, and your brother's saying that free rent counts as a gift. Under most wills, gifts get added back before the estate splits. So his maths says you owe sixty grand off the top.

[Q1] Quick one. If you were the sibling on the other side, would you actually push for that money? Yes or no, comments.

[ACT 2]

Here's the actual answer. As an attorney, every decision you make has to be in your mum's best interests, and ideally written down at the time.

Living there rent free isn't automatically a gift, and it isn't automatically fine either. It depends entirely on whether there's a record. Written down at the time that this was fair payment for full time care, and this is over in thirty seconds. No record, and it's just your word against his, with a solicitor, or a judge, guessing what was agreed years ago.

[CTA]

This is exactly why you record decisions as you make them, not after. Capacity Vault lets you set up power of attorney with the evidence built in from day one, so if this ever gets questioned, you've already got the answer. Twenty five percent off right now, link's in the bio.

[ACT 3]

Without that record, cases like this drag on for months, and people end up settling and paying back a chunk. Not because they were wrong. Because proving it, after the one person who could confirm it has died, is nearly impossible.

Does that feel fair? Losing money not because you did anything wrong, but because nobody wrote it down.

If you're power of attorney for someone, and you've made a decision you never wrote down, could you actually prove you were right if it got challenged tomorrow?

Let me know. I read every one.

"You're not blood, so you get nothing." That's what she's hearing from her step siblings right now, about the dad who raised her since she was four.

It's the kind of line that sounds like law. It isn't.

A will is about who someone chooses, not who they're related to. If he named her in it, biology doesn't get a vote. Where it actually gets complicated is if there's no will at all, because then only biological or legally adopted children inherit automatically, no matter how long you were raised as theirs.

But being treated as a child of the family isn't nothing either. There's a specific route for exactly this, under the Inheritance Act, even without a will, even if you've been left out of one.

If this is playing out in your family, save this bit. And if you're not sure where you actually stand, that's worth getting looked at properly. makeawillonline.co.uk, link's in the bio.

Were you named in the will, or is there no will at all? Has anyone actually said "you're not blood" to your face? And the one worth answering honestly, if you'd raised a child as your own for twenty years, would you want blood to matter more than that?

There’s a story breaking right now about one of Britain’s most famous explorers, and honestly, nobody outside his own family actually knows what’s going on.

Serious allegations, a police statement, a King reportedly unable to get through to an old friend. We go through what’s actually confirmed, what isn’t, and the one question nobody’s asking in any of the coverage.

Whatever the truth turns out to be here, it’s a reminder of how quickly things can become unclear when the right document isn’t in place, or nobody around someone actually knows the details of it.

If you’re not sure whether an LPA you’ve already got is being used properly, or you’ve never sorted one, it’s worth acting on rather than sitting with the uncertainty. Links in bio.

Mum left the house to me “to look after” for my disabled brother. Now my siblings say I’ve stolen his inheritance.

Four words nobody thought were doing any legal work. They decide whether that house is actually yours.
