Two Ways To Protect

Your Children Using A Protective Property Will

Option 1 – protecting your children’s inheritance when you die This version of a Protective property will is ideal if your children are under 18 and comes into effect when you die — or where you are the sole owner of a property and want your surviving spouse or partner to continue living in the property while ensuring your children are the ultimate beneficiaries. The trustees, beneficiaries and terms are all set out in your will.

Option 2 – protecting your children’s inheritance during your lifetime A lifetime trust or flexible life interest trust comes into effect straight away. It is beneficial to protect against sideways disinheritance, where children from other relationships could inherit, remarry and change the terms of their will to potentially disinherit your true bloodline. If a property is jointly owned, the Will can be written to cater for ‘Tenants in Common’. This gives each person a share in the property, which can be disposed of according to their wishes rather than passing automatically to either spouse.

What to Consider

Passing without a will in place could leave your loved ones facing financial hardship, unbearable pressure and mounting legal fees at a time of mourning. A will helps protect your assets and relieves the debilitating worry your family could face.

Did you know that over 850,000 people in the UK are affected by dementia? Loss of mental capacity could leave you unable to access your bank account, pay your bills and maintain your home unless you have prepared a lasting power of attorney.

Probate can often seem overwhelming so close to bereavement, and the process can appear confusing, time-consuming and complicated. We can apply for a grant of probate on your behalf and administer the probate forms to relieve the pressure.

A Family Trust can be a simple way to protect your assets and put your family first. It lets you choose how to benefit your family during your lifetime and makes critical provisions should you die.
