When might you need a Will or LPA?
Many people are not sure where to start. These are some of the everyday situations where putting clear arrangements in place can help.
You are not married
Unmarried partners do not have the same automatic inheritance rights as married couples or civil partners. A Will helps make your wishes clear.
You have children
A Will can name guardians, set out who should inherit, and help make practical arrangements clearer for the people left behind.
You want someone you trust to help
A Lasting Power of Attorney allows trusted people to support decisions if you ever need help in the future.
Your circumstances have changed
Marriage, separation, children, moving home, bereavement or family changes can all affect whether older documents still work properly.
You own a home
Property is often one of the most important assets to plan for. A Will can help set out what should happen to your share.
You are thinking ahead about care
A Health and Welfare LPA can help make sure trusted people are able to speak for you if important care decisions ever need to be made.
You are in a second relationship
Blended families often need careful planning so partners, children and wider family arrangements are properly considered.
You want to avoid uncertainty later
LPAs are usually easiest to put in place while everything is straightforward, rather than waiting until help is urgently needed.
