Did you recently get divorced, married, become a parent or sell a house?

If this is you, you need to make sure your will is up to date. We recommend that wills are reviewed and updated every five years, or after major life events occur.

Our members hear this all the time;

❌ “We were told this trust would protect our home from care fees.”

❌ “We were told this trust would cut our inheritance tax bill.”

In many cases, these promises are simply not true. And yet, more than 4 in 5 Lifetime Lawyers say they’ve seen clients misled into believing them.

There are no shortcuts or easy fixes in later-life planning. Every case is unique, and advice must be tailored to an individual.

That’s why we’re calling out the false claims, because honesty and transparency should always come first.

Did you know only 17% of UK adults aged 40 and over have set up a Power of Attorney? That means more than eight in ten people haven’t appointed someone to make decisions for them if they lose capacity.

Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place isn’t just important, it’s essential for peace of mind. Whether it’s managing your finances or looking out for your health decisions, having trusted people in place now can make all the difference later.

Need help setting one up? An accredited Lifetime Lawyer can guide you through the process, ensuring you’re protected, no matter what the future holds. Find your local Lifetime Lawyer: https://lifetimelawyers.org.uk/Public/Public/Radius-Search/Find-a-Lawyer.aspx
