Wills for Your Children
Secure the welfare of your children with help from Right Way Wills Ltd in South Yorkshire, England. By having a will, you can appoint a guardian to look after your sons or daughters should you pass away. With our help, you can have a will that details everything you require. Please call us that we can help you write your Will.
Secure Your Inheritance
When it comes to your assets, you alone should decide where they go. It is important to have a will, so you can secure your valuable possessions even when you have passed. All the things you have worked for won’t go to waste because your family and friends will inherit them in the future.
Prevent Financial Stress for Your Partner
If you were to pass away without a will, your partner could face financial stresses at an already difficult time. This is especially true for unmarried couples, who are not entitled to inherit each other’s possessions under the law. When you have a will, your partner can receive the inheritance from you.
Importance of Creating a Will
At Right Way Wills Ltd in South Yorkshire, England, we make sorting your personal affairs easier. If you don’t get a will, everything you own is distributed by the government to anybody without considering your personal relationships and friends. Only when you hire us to draft a will can you secure the welfare of your family.
Drafting a Detailed Will
Creating a will is about meeting and discussing your requests with one of our experienced consultants. We provide a professional, prompt and personal approach. In addition, we have a 14-day no-obligation option to cancel without penalty, so there is no risk in contacting us.
Please be reminded that even if you have a will, you should update it under unexpected instances, such as marriage, having children or grandchildren. If this happens, consult with us so we can review and make the necessary changes.
Our team provides advice on care authority financial assessments, the payment of care fees and the role of social services. Turn to us if you need guidance on:
What to do when a person in care can no longer afford the fees
What to do when a property needs to be sold to pay fees
What to do when someone needs to either move out of residential care or move into the home of a relative
What else should I know about making a Will ?
Circumstances change. For example, a relationship status or becoming a grandparent. We suggest reviewing your Will every year
The people most commonly appointed as executors on a Will are relatives or friends, solicitors or accountants, or even banks
It’s important to choose your executor carefully as this person will have to take on a great deal of responsibility and work. This includes administrative, legal and taxation duties
If you die without a Will, the law decides who’ll be responsible for your affairs and who’ll inherit your estate. This could mean those you’d prefer not to inherit, benefit
Standard Wills contain your personal details, appointed executors, appointed guardians, funeral details, gifting and residue of your estate.
Power of Attorney
Turn to Right Way Wills Ltd in South Yorkshire, for assistance in creating a legal document that allows you to appoint an attorney who will make decisions on your behalf, when necessary.
Choosing a Power of Attorney
You have the option to appoint more than one attorney, as long as it is a person whom you trust. After all, you are granting them the rights to make decisions for you.
Choose from two types of attorneys. The Health and Welfare Attorney will assist you with your daily routine and medical care. A Property and Financial Affairs Attorney is there to help you in paying your bills, collecting your benefits and even selling your home should you choose to.
Rules and Regulations
When appointing an attorney, he or she must be over 18 years old and is able to make decisions. He or she should make decisions that you agree with and should also respect your wishes and demands. You cannot appoint someone who is currently bankrupt or subject to a debt relief order.
Unable to Make a Lasting Power of Attorney
If you do not have a lasting power of attorney and are unable to manage your property and financial affairs due to confinement or mental incapacitation, the Court of Protection will do it on your behalf. A relative or a person close to you is required to apply in this court, which can take up to 12 months and costs more £1,000 to process.
In addition, the person authorized to handle your affairs on your behalf is not only unlikely to be who you would have chosen but may even be a court official. You will be charged every time he or she acts for you. This process also applies to health and welfare decisions, where someone should apply in the Court of Authorization.

The Protective Property Trust
The Protective Property Trust, also known as a Life Interest Trust, may be a useful addition to your Last Will, as long as you don’t delay. You may wish to include a protective property trust in your will if:
Your family includes children from previous relationships, and you want to ensure fairness for them without disadvantaging your spouse or partner. You may also think it likely that your spouse will remarry after your death and wish to protect the interests of your children against any future relationship, without harming your spouses’ interests.
You and your spouse or partner are concerned that you will be one of around 70,000 people who lose their inheritance to the local council through community care tax. This can wipe out all but the last £14,500 of your estate.
You do not wish to leave your share of your property to your partner, but do wish to give them the right to live in the property for the rest of their lives, before it is passed down to your children. You may well provoke a claim under the Inheritance Act if this aspect is not dealt with thoughtfully.
If you are worried that you may need nursing home care in the future, your local authority may have the right to force the sale your home or put a charge on it. They will use the proceeds to meet the costs of your care. You cannot transfer your property to relatives to avoid paying nursing home fees without falling foul of the law.
However, you can include a protective property trust in your will containing the following instructions: upon the death of you or your spouse, half share of the property is put in trust for your children or other beneficiaries instead of passing it directly to the surviving spouse.
Wills Involve Two PartsFirst, your home needs to be owned by both husband and wife. The ownership is changed so you each own half, which is the usual situation where you technically each own all of it.This allows both of you to write a special last will, where either partner has the lifetime right to reside in the other half of the home after the first death, as well as their own half. So when either of you has passed, their half of the property goes into special protective property trusts written into the will. The benefits of protective property trusts include:
Disinheritance of children through remarriage of the survivor. The survivor can only leave their half of the property as they wish and not the half owned by the person who died. That share will eventually go to their beneficiaries decided on by the first to die.
Substantial protection against care fees, unless you are unfortunate enough to both need long-term care at the same time. Even then, there is the possibility of saving some of your capital. However, this protection will not be available if the property trust wills were put in place after there was a reasonable possibility of long-term care being needed.
Funeral Plans
Why Should I Consider a Prepaid Funeral Plan?
It is a difficult decision to make, simply because it is not always easy to think about planning your own funeral. There are many reasons why a pre-paid funeral plan could be right for you:
Stating your funeral wishes in your will is not binding upon your executors often. People just do not know what their deceased relative or friend wanted.
A funeral plan guarantees that your wishes will be carried out and that the funeral director’s services will be paid for at no extra cost to your family.
At a time of sadness, you will have relieved your family of financial and emotional burdens.
Those you leave behind will remember your thoughtfulness.
Savings in a bank or building society or insurance is just a sum of money. Your executors are not obliged to spend it on your funeral, and there may not be enough.
The price of a funeral plan is in line with the cost of a funeral purchased today. Funeral costs, like everything else, will almost certainly continue to rise in the future.
You can choose a funeral to suit your requirements across a range of prices.
You will receive a certificate which confirms the funeral you have chosen. It also specifies, if you wish, personal details such as religious requirements, gifts to charities in lieu of flowers, music and many more.
You will also receive a booklet which tells your family or executors all they need to know at the time of your funeral.
Will Storage
You have made the sensible decision to make a Will. This document is vitally important in enabling you to leave clear instructions on how your estate is to be distributed, as well as explaining any specific wishes that you may want to followed once you have passed away.
The importance of the decisions that you have made means that you need to ensure that your Will is kept safe and secure. If anything happens to your Will or if your executor doesn’t know where to find it, you may as well not have written one.
The original Last Will and Testament is the only document that will be legally accepted and it must be in pristine condition to ensure that there are no complications when following the wishes set out in it. Therefore, it is vital that your documents and are stored appropriately so that it meets the specific requirements of the Probate Courts when it is presented by your executor(s).
Unfortunately, families often encounter problems when it comes to acting upon the wishes of their loved ones. Understandably, many people don’t like to talk about their plans for later life which can lead to common issues such as:
· The family being unaware that a Will has been written in the first place
· The executors not knowing where the Will is stored
· Wills being stored inappropriately which can lead to them being damaged or lost
Storing my Will at home is safe… isn’t it?
Many people will understandably assume that the safest place to store their Will is within their home. However, what happens if the worse happens and your house is burgled, damaged by fire or flooded? What if the documents are mislaid during a move or clear out? Research by the Certainty Will register shows that the majority of family members (67%) wouldn’t know where their relative’s Will is stored at home.
Even if you do store the document in a safe and secure location, it will mean that the Will has not been included on the National Will Register. This is the UK-wide database of all Wills and is the first place that a legal professional will check should the executors not be able to locate the document themselves.
