IF THE ANSWER TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS IS ‘YES’ - AND YOU DON’T HAVE A WRITTEN WILL - YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW!
Although you can’t take it with you, there’s no guarantee about ‘who gets what’ if you have not prepared you Last Will and Testament – because you effectively surrender control of your affairs to the Law of Intestacy and the tax man. Not having a will (or being intestate) means leaving things to chance. It creates uncertainty and delay in beneficiaries receiving (or not) their legacies - and avoidable distress.
Making a legal will is easy and affordable. Give yourself peace of mind, knowing that you have put your affairs in good order.
WHERE THERE’S A WILL
Even if you have a written will but it hasn’t been amended or re-written to reflect major life events such as marriage, divorce - or you want to change named beneficiaries - your estate could be vulnerable. You should take action now!
Do you have property or other assets abroad? If so, you need a separate will prepared in accordance with the laws of inheritance for that country.
LIFE CAN BE TAXING!
If the only things certain in life are death and taxes, a correctly prepared will and estate planning strategy can reduce the impact of Inheritance Tax (IHT).
An estate worth more than £ 325,000 in the 2009/2010 Financial Year, attracts IHT at the rate of 40% on everything above that level …. and everything means just that: money, shares, savings, property, valuables!
