Take Control of Your Future with Fantastic Will and Probate Services

The importance of having a clearly delineated will cannot be overstated. After all, wills are, at their core, one of our most lasting and, indeed, noble aspects of our legal system, allowing one to pass on his or her estate and possessions to loved ones and thereby allowing his or her memory to continue on in both an idealistic and practical sense. To allow one’s estate and goods to be passed on is to ensure that they remain in use or are otherwise enjoyed by loved ones, thus securing a lasting impact on other lives down through the generations.

The converse of that can be messy, to say the least. Indeed, Dickens’s celebrated Bleak House hinges upon a bitterly contested will, the legal fight over which leads both sides of the family to ruin. Rather than allow such Dickensian rack and ruin to worm its way into your home, it is always a good idea to employ trained executors and probates who will work with you to ensure the equity and clarity of your will. To that end, here is what you can expect from Heritage Wills in Bedfordshire.

Last Will and Testament

According to a Law Society finding in 2014, more than half of Britons are without a last will and testament. This can be extremely problematic, leading to confusion at best and potentially some nasty fights upon a family member’s passing at worst. As such, when it comes time to draw up your last will and testament, you are going to want to be sure that everything is elucidated with the utmost clarity.

Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney extends to everything from the handling of your estate to the power to make critical medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you are incapacitated. As such, formally designating Power of Attorney is another critical legal step to ensure that you are represented properly when it matters most.

Discretionary Trusts

Yet another vital aspect of estate management, specifying the manner in which discretionary trusts are set up and managed can make a big difference in the way in which you and your family members receive certain financial assets. For example, placing money in a trust to be used at a certain age can be a great way to ensure that younger family members have inheritances that will go untouched until they reach an appropriate age. In addition, placing your money in a trust can help lessen inheritance tax, thereby ensuring that more of your financial assets wind up in the hands of your family members.

Experience You Can Trust

When it comes to managing something as critically important as your last will and testament or the type of life and death decisions that are part and parcel with acting in accordance with one’s role as having Power of Attorney, you want to make sure that you have an experienced hand at the wheel. Thankfully, the best probate and will drafting services offer legal counsellors with years or even decades of experience to their credit.
