Life event = time to review a Will

Our worrying new research reveals nearly half of UK adults have experienced a life changing event since last updating their will, possibly making it out of date. We’d advise reviewing your will at least every five years or when a major change happens.

Thinking about making changes to an existing will or wanting to create a new one? Make sure you speak with an experienced legal professional who will be able to advise on your unique situation and wishes. They can also help reduce your inheritance tax bill.

Who looks after the kids?

Update Your Will Week!

Is your will clear and up to date? New research from SFE has shown that seven out of 10 UK parents have no legal guardian in place to care for their children in the event of their deaths. Without this being laid out in the will, the courts or social services could decide what happens to them.

Don't leave this vital decision to someone else, get in touch with our wills, trusts and probate team, including .online, to ensure your loved ones are looked after as you wish.
