LaSTING LEGACY
Why write a will ?
Will writing gives you the opportunity to decide who inherits your last possessions, assets and most treasured belongs. It’s is a legal document that protects your estate for your family once you pass away. For example if you have not registered a civil partnership or are married your partner is not automatically able to receive your inheritance which could create some serious financial problems.conversely if you have made a will prior to a civil partnership or marriage then your will is void and would need to be amended unless you have a relevant clause in place to protect against it
A will is not just about assets or possessions it is also about funeral wishes setting up protective trusts and protecting your children under (18) from being placed into care by naming and appointing them legal guardians to look after them.
Without writing a will your estate will be handed over to the state government under the rule known as the “line of intestcy”which means your last wishes will never heard and your estate will be distributed without protection for your family.

Lasting power of attorney
A lasting power of attorney allows you to appoint an individual to act as your legal representative should you have an accident an illness or rendered incapacitated, leaving you unable to manage your own affairs and financial well being. What would happen if you lost your mental capacity and didn’t have a lasting power of attorney? The court of protection will appoint a Deputy to manage your affairs this is the point an application has to be made (usually by a relative or someone close to you) which could take up to 12 months to process and cost £2,700
If you have a lasting power of attorney and someone to represent you there is a choice of two (LPA’s) to consider.

Trusts
Trusts can be used as part of your estate planning agreement. They can be formed whilst you are alive in a trust or in a will before you pass awayEssentially a trust is an agreement that stipulates a set of rules, for example if you wanted to leave money to young children or a beneficiary not of sound mind then a trust would honour and protect your wishes by allowing you to gift or loan your assets to your chosen beneficiaries.Trusts can be fairly simple to write , however depending on what you wanted to achieve will determine how the asset will be taxed.
Inheritance tax
Inheritance tax can be quite complex to understand especially as the UK legislation constantly changesThis makes it important for you to know how your assets will be distributed and how much tax will be paid. Generally if you have assets that equate to £325,000 or less inheritance tax will not be paid, however amounts over that limit with be liable for a standard rate of 40% tax
