Did you know that a ‘common law partner” has no legal status in England and Wales?

Despite popular misconceptions, living together for many years does not give unmarried couples the same legal rights as spouses or civil partners.

This can cause problems, especially when it comes to mental capacity. Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and effective estate planning are therefore particularly important for cohabiting couples.

Are you a business owner? Is your Will fit for purpose?

For business owners, a Will needs to do more than deal with personal assets. It should clearly set out what happens to your company shares and work alongside your Shareholder Agreement to help avoid costly disputes and uncertainty.

In their latest article, Nicole Miller and Sarah Jervis explore the key considerations for business owners, including the lessons learned from the AMT Coffee dispute and the steps you can take to protect both your beneficiaries and your business.

🤔Should you gift assets during your lifetime or leave them in your Will?

When planning your estate, this is one of the most common questions we are asked. While gifting assets can help reduce Inheritance Tax, it also means giving up control of those assets. On the other hand, leaving gifts in your Will offers greater flexibility, but may not provide the same tax advantages.

The right approach depends on your financial circumstances, family dynamics, and long term goals.
