Appointing a family member as the executor of your Will is common, but it can come with drawbacks.

Executors are legally responsible for mistakes, such as mismanaging funds, undervaluing assets, or missing tax deadlines. Family members may not fully understand this risk.

Some people address these drawbacks by appointing a professional executor, such as Will Power, either alone or alongside a family member. This can bring neutrality, expertise and peace of mind.

The fate of business assets depends entirely on your Will and the business structure. Make sure you have up-to-date valuations and nominate someone capable of running the business, or your Executor may end up having to sell it.

Executors need to deal with probate, taxes, property sales, debts, and legal compliance. Family members without financial or legal experience may make mistakes that delay the process or expose them to liability.

Some people address these drawbacks by appointing a professional executor such as Will Power, either alone or alongside a family member. This can bring neutrality, expertise and peace of mind.

Tapered relief is a mechanism that reduces the amount of Inheritance Tax payable on lifetime gifts if the donor dies between three and seven years after making the gift. But this all depends on the size of the gift, so plan carefully.

Listen to our podcast, from Ian Winterbotham, which explains how tapered relief works in relation to Inheritance Tax (IHT).

Appointing a family member as the executor of your Will is common, but it can come with drawbacks.

Administering an estate can take months or even years. If the executor has a demanding job, lives far away, or abroad, or has limited capacity, they may struggle to keep up.

Some people address these drawbacks by appointing a professional executor, such as Will Power, either alone or alongside a family member. This can bring neutrality, expertise and peace of mind.

Appointing a family member as the executor of your Will is common, but it can come with the risk of conflict.

If the executor is also a beneficiary, other heirs might question their impartiality. Family tensions (especially in blended families or where assets are unequal) can escalate into disputes or even litigation.

Appointing a professional executor, such as Will Power, either alone or alongside a family member, can bring neutrality, expertise and peace of mind.

The simple answer is Trust Wills. It’s worth pointing out that Wills that create Trusts are not usually referred to as Mirror Wills, even though they may reflect both people’s wishes and have the same executors and beneficiaries.

The term Mirror Wills usually refers to simple Wills where you leave everything to each other and then to your children.

If one partner dies, it is undoubtedly a good idea to review a Will for lots of reasons.

It’s particularly important if circumstances have changed since the last Will was drafted. Perhaps named beneficiaries, such as grandchildren, now need to be included, because they’ve been born since the previous Will was drafted.

There can be valuable tax allowances to consider, which may not be easy to claim if you don’t review the Will and potentially draft another one.

Other planning could significantly reduce the tax bill that the surviving spouse’s children have to pay.

This is going to become even more important in 2027 for an awful lot of people – that’s when pensions will be included in people’s estates.

There may be simple ways to reduce the tax on those pensions, but the surviving partner needs to take action and review their Will and tax planning.
