Wills and lasting powers of attorney
If you are having difficulty handling your affairs while you are still alive, perhaps through incapacity, you can appoint someone to handle them for you. You can do this by executing a Lasting Power of Attorney, dealing with your finances and if you wish your personal affairs/welfare.
Although no-one likes to consider their own death, it is important to do so. For the sake of your family you need to make the necessary arrangements to ensure they receive their inheritance without any problem.
Many people assume that, if they don’t make a will, their next of kin will automatically receive everything. That isn’t always the case, so it is essential that you make a will to record your wishes and state who will be your executor - the person who will deal with these matters for you after your death.
Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney are very important legal documents which should be professionally prepared and regularly reviewed and updated to avoid problems. At Latimer Hinks we have the expertise to take care of everything for you.
