Don’t lose your home to Care Costs!

Many of us hope to pass on something to our children, but if you don’t plan ahead this could end up being just a pipe dream!

Going into long-term care is a possibility for most of us, and in some cases it can see you losing the home you have worked so hard for, especially if you and your partner own your property jointly. Owning a property jointly means that, upon your death, the house will pass to your partner absolutely. If your partner later goes into care, the council can force them to sell the home to pay for the care fees, leaving your children and future generations without the legacy you had intended for them.

However, if you take the proper precautions now, there is a way to secure your children’s and future generation’s legacy. Setting up a Trust and changing the ownership of your property to Tenants in Common will protect your home from the Local Authority and benefit your children and future generations.

If you want to protect your home and your legacy for your children, we can provide expert help and advice. We can help you and your partner become tenants in common and set up a Trust, so that your home will be secured against the Local Authority. Contact us now for more information.

Do you know WHO will receive your assets if you die without having a valid Will in place?
It’s a misconception that Wills are just for the rich, the elderly or those with young children. No matter how much or little you have, if you die without a valid Will in place, your estate will pass in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy… and the chances are, it’s probably not exactly who you’d want to get them!
The Rules of Intestacy set out who is entitled to inherit from your estate if you do not leave a valid Will. The rules differ slightly based on different UK jurisdiction, but here’s an insight into the laws in England & Wales….…
If you die without a Will and have a surviving spouse or civil partner:
• If you have no surviving children or other relatives: everything passes to your spouse or civil partner.
• If you have surviving children: your spouse or civil partner receives the chattels (possessions), a legacy of £270,000 and half of what's left. Your children will be entitled to the other half.
• If you have no children or grandchildren: your surviving spouse or civil partner inherits the whole estate.
The rules are set in stone and those little gifts or legacies you might have wanted to make such as your jewellery to your sister, your sports trophies to your younger brother, or sum of money to your grandchildren WON’T happen.
If YOU want to decide WHO gets WHAT rather than the state make a Will TODAY!
It’s never too early but often too late.

It might seem like an honour, but acting as an Executor is no mean feat!

The role is time-consuming and often stressful for those who may not fully understand what the job entails. Therefore it is essential that you carefully consider whom you are going to appoint as an Executor of your estate.

When choosing Executors, you can select: Individuals; Professional People; or Trust Corporations; all of which have pros and cons that need to be considered.

Relatives can sometimes be too distressed to perform the role effectively, so while they may be your first choice because of the trust you hold in them, it might be wise to appoint a Professional Executor alongside them, to guide them through the process and ease their burden.

Appointing more than one Executor is often recommended - to help balance the workload and offer support. It’s also crucial in case one of your choices predeceases you or is unable to perform the role when the time comes.

We can help you weigh up all the options when it comes to appointing Executors to your estate, and ensure you make the best decision based on your situation!
