Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about estate planning and wills

Do I really need a will?
Yes. Without a valid will, the law decides who inherits your estate—which may not match your wishes. A will ensures your assets go to the people you choose and can help reduce inheritance tax and family disputes.
When should I update my will?
You should review your will after major life events: marriage, divorce, having children, buying property, or when someone named in your will passes away. We recommend a review every 3-5 years as good practice.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are two types: one for finances and one for health and care decisions. It's an essential part of planning for the unexpected.
