"We’ll do it one day."
That’s what Mark and Lisa kept saying about writing their Will. Then Mark’s health took an unexpected turn. Suddenly, the “one day” they were waiting for never came.

Lisa was left with stress, uncertainty, and decisions she wished had already been made.

A Will is not about expecting the worst—it’s about being prepared, so your loved ones don’t have to carry that burden for you.

👉 Write your Will today, for the people you love tomorrow.

📢 Is Your Will Stuck in the 90s? It Might Be Time for a Review…

If your Will was written in the 1990s, there’s a good chance it includes something called a Nil Rate Band Trust. Back then, it was a smart way to reduce inheritance tax—but times have changed.

Since 2007, the rules have been updated, allowing spouses and civil partners to transfer unused allowances. For many families, this means those old trust arrangements may no longer be necessary—and could even complicate things.

💡 Why review your Will now?

Tax rules have evolved
Trusts can create unexpected admin and costs
Your personal and financial situation may have changed

✍️ A quick review could make things simpler for your loved ones and ensure your wishes are carried out as intended.

If it’s been years since you last looked at your Will, now’s a great time to revisit it.

📩 Get in touch if you’d like to discuss whether your Will still works for you.

Putting a Will in place is important—but have you thought about what happens if you’re still alive but unable to make decisions for yourself?

That’s where Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) come in.

An LPA allows you to choose trusted people to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity—whether that’s due to illness, an accident, or later life conditions. Without one, your loved ones could face a long, stressful, and expensive court process just to help manage your affairs.

There are two types:
• Health & Welfare – covering care and medical decisions
• Property & Financial Affairs – covering money, bills, and assets

While you can set these up yourself, working with a professional ensures:
• Your documents are completed correctly the first time
• Your wishes are clearly reflected and legally robust
• You avoid delays or rejections from errors
• You get guidance on choosing the right attorneys

It’s not just paperwork—it’s peace of mind for you and your family.

Getting LPAs in place early means you stay in control, no matter what the future holds.

If you’d like help putting your Lasting Powers of Attorney in place, the team at Olive Tree Law is here to guide you every step of the way. Get in touch today for friendly, expert advice.

✨ 3 Signs It’s Time to Update Your Will ✨

Life changes fast — and your will should keep up. 📝 Here are three key moments when you should review it:

1️⃣ New Family Members – Have you welcomed a child or grandchild? Make sure they’re included.
2️⃣ Big Life Changes – Marriage, divorce, or buying a new home can affect your estate plans.
3️⃣ Executor or Beneficiary Changes – If someone named in your will has passed away or circumstances have changed, it’s time for an update.

✅ A will isn’t a “one and done” document — reviewing it regularly ensures your loved ones are always protected.

Just a reminder that our resident ducks are still on patrol so please drive carefully. Hoping to be able to give ducking updates soon (this is a massive assumption and we take no liability for disappointment if there are no ducklings)
