The importance of a Will and of Power of Attorney
About
Having a will allows you to protect those close to you and ensures your wishes are followed after your death, preventing any disagreements about who takes what. If you die without a will, “intestacy” will arise – this means the law decides what happens to your assets, and this can cause problems for your family and add to the costs of probate.A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives authority to another person to act on your behalf. It prevents a stranger, or someone you don’t trust, from having this power. Without an LPA, if you become ill and/or cannot make your own decisions, your loved ones (including your spouse or partner) must apply to a court for these powers – adding significant cost and time.
⦁ why having a Will and Power of Attorney is so important – not just to you, but to your loved ones.
⦁ some of the “myths” about these important documents – and why most of them aren’t true
⦁ what you need to do if you’ve been named as Executor of a Will or Attorney in a Power of Attorney
The session will be led by Nicola Combe of Morecambe Bay Wills. Advice will be impartial and based on Nicola's personal experience (which is why she founded the company) and on that of her clients.
This session is free, but ticketed in order to limit numbers.
