Creating your first Will or updating an existing one is an important process that we all have to go through. Before you even start there are some important decisions to make.
- Your Will and taxation on death
- Your Will and Care Fees planning
- Your Will and solicitors
These are just a few considerations.
Over here at the Finance Zone I come at things from a slightly different angle, in that I don’t get involved with writing Wills, it’s far to specialised. Where I help is at the planning stage and to asssist with the correct completion of instructions and ensure your Wills are drawn up in accordance with best practice and up to date financial guidance.
Between us you get to make sure your children and beneficiary’s are treated properly, but in a way that helps you.
By showing you what the problems are and how to solve them before you even think about your new Will.
I then outsource the creation of the documents to a highly specialised third party – who is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).
The reasons for not using a local solicitor for creating your Will fall into several areas, which is why have prepared a report on the subject, it’s yours free and available from below.
Reasons to use The Finance Zone for your last Will and Testament.
- STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practioners) members specialise in estate planning and The Will documentation used by me comes from a STEP member and all they do is Will writing. It’s a bit like going to see a GP to solve a heart problem, when a Cardiologist is far more qualified. By combining high level financial guidance and Step documentation you get the best of the best. We use a qualified STEP member for all documentation.
- Most solicitors don’t have qualifications in Wills and Estates (in fact some 25% of wills created by solicitors were not of sufficient quality). Source Solicitors Regulation Authority.
- Solicitors are unable to provide financial guidance and help with questions about Care Fees planning and Trusts, it’s also something few Will Writers also understand and often mis-advise on these matters ( The 2014 Care Act) has major implications for all of us.
- I will only create Wills for you after a full examination of your circumstances and after considering your options, and I provide a full explanation of these – no shortcuts.
- You benefit from my financial, legal and estate planning experience before, during and after we have worked together.
- We include automatically an Advance Decision to cover any failing health and can include lifetime updates (both of these things are vitally important).
Your Will Needs To Deal With These Things
