If you own your home with a partner, have you thought about what should happen to your share when you die?

A Property Protection Trust written into a Will can, depending on the arrangement, allow a surviving partner to continue living in the property while helping preserve the first person's share for chosen beneficiaries.

It can be useful when planning around concerns such as sideways disinheritance or future changes in family circumstances.

Speak to Durant & Co if you would like to understand whether this type of planning may be suitable.

Critical illness cover is designed to pay a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified serious illness covered by your policy and meet the policy definition.

That money could help with things such as:
• household bills
• mortgage payments
• family costs
• adapting during treatment or recovery

Policies vary, so the conditions covered and definitions matter.

Speak to Durant & Co if you would like help understanding the options.



Cover is subject to eligibility, underwriting and policy terms. Exclusions and limitations may apply.

Saving the deposit is a huge milestone, but it is not the only cost to plan for when buying your first home.

It is worth budgeting for things such as:
• legal and conveyancing fees
• survey and valuation costs
• moving and setup expenses

Planning for the full cost of moving can make the process feel much more manageable.

If you are getting ready to buy your first home, Durant & Co can help you understand the mortgage side and what to expect next.



Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Sunday was spent at the Old Silhillians Rugby Festival, watching my godson throw himself around a rugby pitch with absolutely no fear whatsoever! 🏉😂

I’m not sure who gets more nervous, the children playing or the adults watching from the sidelines!

It was also really lovely getting to chat with so many mums and dads throughout the day about MetLife Children’s Shield and the protection available for little ones if they suffer certain broken bones or injuries.

After watching some of those tackles, it definitely felt like a very relevant conversation! 😬

As parents, godparents, aunties, uncles, grandparents or just the person standing on the sidelines wincing every time they hit the ground, we all want to know the children we love are protected.

If you’d like to have a chat about protecting your children, or even yourself if you’re into sport, active hobbies or just happen to be a little accident-prone, drop me a message. 😊

If you could no longer make certain decisions for yourself, who would you want to step in?

A Lasting Power of Attorney can allow people you choose and trust to make decisions on your behalf. There are two main types:
• Health and Welfare
• Property and Financial Affairs

An LPA needs to be put in place while you have the mental capacity to make it.

Speak to Durant & Co if you would like to understand how LPAs work.

A Will is not just about who receives your money.

It can also help you:
• choose who should inherit
• appoint guardians for children
• record your wishes clearly
• make things easier for the people you leave behind

If you die without a valid Will, the intestacy rules determine who inherits your estate. That may not always match what you would have chosen yourself.

If your Will needs writing or updating, speak to Durant & Co.

Mortgage rates are hovering around 6%, while house prices are broadly flat and some low-deposit options are changing.
