PROBATE 🤔 .. How many times do I hear ….

“I’ve heard of it, but I don’t really know what it is?”

Probate is the process of distributing a deceased persons estate, and this is usually the responsibility of the Executors to sort. Executors are usually your children or very close loved ones. Which means they are left with:

- Closing down bank accounts
- Cashing in Life Insurance policies
- Emptying a house
- Selling the family home
- Dealing with family
- Fulfilling the wishes in the Will

And so much more.

But as executors are usually ‘the children’, this means even with a great Will, you are leaving your kids with a tough, long drawn out, costly experience when you go. As whether you die with OR without a Will, and you own a house in the UK - PROBATE WILL STILL BE NEEDED.

The only way to make life easier for your children when the time comes, is to prioritise a little bit of time to set up some good planning now, to save a lots of money, stress and heartache later on 💔

Of course, there are numerous other benefits to having a Trust, but one of the main reasons for almost all of my own clients - making life as easy as possible for the kids when we go 🕊️

And I whole heartedly support & agree with this type of planning for families who love each other the way I do mine, and want to protect each other at all costs.

The misconceptions of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)…

So many people link LPAs to ‘being old’, which is understandable if you believe that LPAs are only needed for dementia, Alzheimer’s, strokes etc.

BUT if you’re over 18 years of age, and you’re alive - you need to consider getting your LPAs in place.

ESPECIALLY if you’re a couple, have children, own a property jointly with someone else and/or have a joint bank account.

Did you know if you lose capacity (fall off a horse, car accident, major water infections, accident at work, major surgery recovery, medically induced coma etc etc - all of which have nothing to do with ‘being old’ and could happen to any of us) your loved ones essentially lose all rights to you? The rights to make decisions around your resuscitation, life support, medication, location of care, equally your financial matters such as paying your bills, accessing your accounts, managing any property - and this could be catastrophic if you own a bank account or property jointly with the incapacitated person!
As by default, you would also be in incapable of accessing your OWN money or remortgaging/selling your OWN home, due to the freezing of joint assets having a knock on repercussion to you too. And vice Versa.

Hopefully they’ll just be a big waste of money - but if they’re ever needed, your family will be so very grateful you have them in place.

Our Son will not receive his inheritance via a Will ….

How many of us believe that by making a Will it means we are ‘all sorted’ ?..

Worse still, how many people do not make a Will because they believe that everything will go ‘automatically’ to the kids?! ..

Terrifying.

By leaving your estate to your children via a Will, it means it is more likely at risk.
At risk of being lost out through divorce, bankruptcy, taxation, and of a child is entitled to benefits, the inheritance you leave them could see their benefits stop for exceeding their allowance threshold.

It is NOT a minefield, providing you get clear, factual, transparent guidance & advice.

If this is something you are needing, then feel free to WhatsApp 07958731675 for a free consultation 👍🏼

‘’We’ve been meaning to do this for years!’’ ….

Almost every client I meet begins a consultation with this statement.

They’re the lucky ones.

At least they are getting it done today, and still have time and health on their side.

Many others aren’t as lucky.

Make sure you don’t find yourself ‘wishing’ you made time to get things sorted/your affairs in order - because we don’t get a second chance at these things.

Make the free appointment, take the free advice & information, then make your decisions 👍🏼

ATTENTION COUPLES - This one’s for you! 🏠

NEVER own your home JOINTLY with someone else! Why? ….

Because if you leave everything to your spouse/partner in your will and you die first, they then legally own 100% of the house.

If they remarry later on, or sadly end up in care, or change their own will to say the house is to go somewhere of their choosing and not yours - then 100% of the entire house could be lost before it is ever passed down to your children or chosen beneficiaries.

The worst part - I deal with ‘accidental Disinheritance’ all of the time, it is all too common.

So make sure you do something about it, and ensure at the very least, YOUR half of the home ALWAYS goes to your chosen people.
