💙 Dementia Action Week 💙

Dementia can affect anyone - whether personally or through someone we love. This , we’re encouraging families to have important conversations and plan ahead for the future.

Putting a Will in place and arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney can provide clarity, reassurance, and protection if circumstances change later in life.

At JWP, we’re here to help make those conversations and decisions a little easier, with clear and compassionate legal advice.

📞 If you’d like to discuss Wills or Powers of Attorney, our team is here to help - 01924 387 171 / JWPSolicitors.co.uk

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave such kind feedback - it truly means a lot to the whole team. 🤍

📖 Does making a Will mean your loved ones will need probate?

Not necessarily.

Many people assume that having a Will automatically means probate will be required - but that isn’t always the case. The rules can depend on things like property ownership, joint assets and how your estate is structured.

In this post, we explain:

✔️ What probate is
✔️ When probate may be needed
✔️ What happens if there isn’t a Will
✔️ How jointly owned assets are treated

Planning ahead can make things much easier for your family and friends in the future 💙

If you would like advice about Wills or probate, our team is here to help.

Thank you to Wakefield Hospice for helping shine a light on such an important topic 💙

In this video, JWP Solicitor Joanna Longfellow discusses a real-life example of the complications that can arise when someone passes away without a Will in place.

Having a Will in place can help reduce uncertainty, stress, and avoidable complications for loved ones at an already difficult time.

A small step now can make a big difference later 🖊️

Planning for the future can feel difficult to talk about - but having those conversations early can make a real difference for you and the people closest to you. 💙

With encouraging more open conversations around death, dying and future planning, it’s a timely reminder to consider the practical steps that can help protect your wishes and your loved ones.

✔️ Make a will
✔️ Plan for future care
✔️ Put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place

Taking these steps now can provide clarity, reassurance and peace of mind for the future. 🤝

Our Solicitors are here to offer clear and compassionate advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
