A Will is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets, property and belongings should be distributed after their death. It also allows individuals to designate guardians for minor children and appoint an executor to oversee the administration of their estate.
Having a Will ensures that your wishes are clearly expressed and legally binding, reducing potential disputes among heirs and simplifying the probate process. Without a Will, the distribution of your estate will be determined by law, which may not align with yours or your family’s preferences.
Creating a Will provides peace of mind, protects your loved ones, and ensures your legacy is managed according to your intentions.
Your Will
Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more trusted individuals, known as attorneys, to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the capacity to do so. There are two types of LPA: one for health and welfare, covering decisions about medical care and living arrangements, and another for property and financial affairs, which includes managing finances and paying bills.
Setting up an LPA ensures that your wishes are respected and that someone you trust has the legal authority to act in your best interests. Without an LPA, loved ones may face lengthy and costly court processes to gain control over your affairs, so itโs an essential safeguard for your future.
