Why make a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney?

Making a Will

  Having a Will can make the most difficult time for your loved ones that little bit easier. You may have quite specific ideas about what you would like to happen when you die. First and foremost, do you wish to be buried or cremated? Where do you want your funeral to be held, and do you want any specific hymns to be sung or readings to be given? Including these items in your Will ensures that your family and friends are able to carry out your exact wishes at such a time when it would be difficult to make decisions. Importantly specifying in your Will exactly how you want your assets to be distributed can avoid unnecessary arguments and disagreements between family members and relatives.

Lasting Power of Attorney

  A Lasting Power of Attorney is the only way to ensure important decisions are made on your behalf by someone you trust, should you ever be unable to do so. You can create one to cover decisions relating to finances and assets and one for your future health and welfare. This gives the people you trust full control over financial, health and welfare decisions, acting in your best interests, at a time when you are unable to make these decisions for yourself.

  Putting this measure in place now can provide peace of mind and protection for you and your family in the future.
