Secure your legacy
While no one knows what the future holds, there's plenty you can do to prepare.
B P Collins offers expert legal advice and estate planning based on 50 years' experience
Wanting to protect your family is
only natural and one way to do
this is to get your affairs in order.
Craig Williams from B P Collins
offers some options to consider:
spending far more on fees if
a case goes to court than you
would have done on using
professional help to make a will.
Appoint an executor
Set up a Power
of Attorney
If you become incapacitated and
can no longer make decisions,
the Court of Protection will
appoint someone to look after
your financial affairs and welfare
needs if you do not have a Power
of Attorney (PoA).
This may not be a person you
would have chosen, so it's worth
nominating someone you trust to
take on this role using a PoA.
Make a will
Only 35% of people say they
have made a will. If you die
without one, your assets will be
divided according to the rules of
intestacy, rather than going to
those people you wanted
to inherit. B P Collins has found
people who plan ahead are
comforted to know family
members will have one less thing
to worry about in their time of
grief. It's advisable to talk to your
family about your wishes.
After the initial awkwardness
of this subject, family members
usually relax and talk frankly.
Writing a will allows you to
choose your preferred executors
and gives you an opportunity
to set out other information,
such as details about your
funeral wishes.
Avoid disputes
The rise of online will packages
is well documented, but if you
think that's a cheaper option,
you should think again.
Contentious probate cases are
increasing and you could end up
If you would like to discuss your requirements, email
craig.williams@bpcollins.co.uk or call 01753 279037
If you've chosen an executor,
make sure they understand what
this role entails. An executor can
be held personally liable if things
go wrong, so they shouldn't take
the responsibility lightly.
It may be helpful for the
executor to work alongside a
lawyer as a co-executor - but be
wary of the charges for this.
Loan agreements
It's not unusual these days for
the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to
lend or give money to adult
children to help them buy a
property. In these cases it's
essential to have a legal loan
agreement drawn up - or
Mum and Dad could lose out
if the circumstances change.
