How important is your Will?
It’s a living reflection of your life’s journey, your values and your desire to benefit those you love. You are an individual and that is why at Western Wills we provide valuable bespoke advice and the correct documents for your circumstances. That means that our Wills are not “one size fits all.”
Life brings changes
The Will you have in your 70’s is likely to look very different to the one you have in your 20’s!
As families grow, relationships evolve, financial situations change, and tax laws are updated, the right Will for your circumstances may need to change too. We’re here to make the process easier by listening to you, understanding your unique situation, and considering all relevant factors to help you create the most effective and appropriate Will.
Different Wills to Suit Your Needs
Standard single and mirror Wills
Almost everyone can benefit from having at least a basic Will — even if they believe they don’t own much. It provides a solid foundation for ensuring your wishes are followed and is a sensible starting point for future planning.
These Wills offer added legal protection to help safeguard the value of property for your loved ones. If like most of my clients this is your most significant asset, then it is important to ensure it can be passed on to beneficiaries without unnecessary complications or interference.
Right to occupy Trust Wills
You may wish for a partner, spouse, or adult child to live in a property without owning it outright. This type of Will ensures their legal right to remain in the home is protected.
Discretionary Trust Wills
You may want a Will that offers maximum flexibility to accommodate future changes in family circumstances or tax laws. Alternatively, if you have a beneficiary who is vulnerable or has additional needs, it may be more appropriate for Trustees to manage their inheritance, rather than leaving assets to them outright.
Business Wills
Business assets and how they are managed after your death often require specific advice and careful planning. Building a business takes significant time and effort, so it’s important to ensure that your hard work is protected and that your business interests are passed on according to your wishes.
This list is not exhaustive, but it provides a helpful indication of how your Will can be tailored to suit your individual circumstances.
