From £119.00—Not so fun fact: 31 million UK adults don’t have a Will? Without one, your assets will be distributed using a government flow chart, which more often than not isn’t going to be what you want. This process can also lead to delays, potential disputes, and stress for your loved ones, as beneficiaries might struggle to access funds during this trying time. As a professional Will writer based in Farnborough, I’m here to make creating your Will straightforward and stress-free.

From £200.00—Protect your assets and your loved ones with proper planning. Whether it’s safeguarding wealth until children reach a responsible age, shielding beneficiaries from risks like divorce or debt, or ensuring the well-being of a vulnerable loved one, having the right protections in place is crucial. For example, imagine Jason and Sandra, who own a family home and want their two children to inherit it when they’re gone. Without proper planning, modern threats could jeopardise this wish—leaving the children with nothing. With the right Will and estate planning, these risks can be mitigated.

Placing your home into a trust can be an option when planning for the future, but it's not a decision to take lightly—especially if you're hoping to reduce inheritance tax. If you continue living in the property without paying full market rent, HMRC will likely treat it as still part of your estate, meaning there’s no inheritance tax benefit. Even if you do pay full rent, the arrangement must be carefully managed and may still be challenged by HMRC. It can also trigger other tax implications, such as income tax on the rent received by the trust. While it’s possible, it’s essential to understand the risks and get expert advice before going down this route. That said, there are many good reasons to put your home in a trust. It can offer protection against sideways disinheritance, reduce probate delays, and help safeguard your assets for future generations. With the right structure and guidance, a trust can be a powerful way to protect your home and your legacy. Placing my home in Trust Farnborough.
Starting from £250.00, you can legally appoint trusted individuals to make decisions about your health and finances if you become unable to do so due to incapacity. Planning ahead is essential to ensure your wishes are safeguarded. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to designate people you trust to manage important decisions on your behalf. While it’s possible to draft an LPA yourself, professional guidance can help you navigate the process and avoid potential pitfalls. As a Farnborough-based Will writer, I specialise in drafting Lasting Powers of Attorney. I can assist you in creating an LPA tailored to your needs.
