❓❓❓👫👬👭❓❓❓

Q: Will my partner inherit my estate? 🏠🚗💰

A: If you are not married or in a Civil Partnership and you have not made a Will, then the answer is NO. ❌

Joint property 🏡🏡 may automatically pass to a surviving co-owner....but this does depend on how it was brought.

Joint savings 💰💰 and other assets🚗🚗could be split 50/50...

New death tax to hit grieving families

🗣️🗣️🗣️CHANGE IN TAXES🗣️🗣️🗣️

On the 6th November 2018, the Government changed the way people are taxed when they die....

💰💰😮😮 Here is whats changing.....

Estates worth less than £50,000 are now tax exempt

However estates worth more than £50k will be calculated on 'total estate value' meaning that you could pay up to £6,000!!! 😵😵

Also Executors will have to pay the fee up front...

Lest We Forget ❤️

❓❓❓🔀👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💰🔀❓❓❓

Q. Why should I make a lasting power of attorney (LPA)?

A. If you've prepared a Will to protect your wishes upon death, then why wouldn't you protect yourself for while you're still alive 🤔🤔?

If you don't make & register LPA's it might end up being someone you wouldn't have chosen that makes your decisions for you... it could even be a court appointed official... who doesn't even know you!!

❔❔❔Q. When do I need a LPA❔❔❔

A. These are the main reasons people use LPA's are...

🔹 You suffer an accident and are confined to bed or hospital
🔹You suffer a more serious accident which permanently incapacitates you
🔹 You become mentally incapacitated e.g. as a result of old age

... The 'alternative' option, is the Court of Protection. This can take up to 6 months and cost £2,170 to process!!! 🚫🚫👎🏻👎🏻

❓❓❓🔀👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💰🔀❓❓❓

We understand that sometimes you have questions that need to be answered before committing to planning your future. We at County Douglas Law would love to help answer some of these questions for you......

Q - Do I need to use a Solicitor to make my Will?

A - No!!! ❌ There are a lot of different things that solicitors can specialise in and Will writing is not necessarily one of them.

Writing Wills has been our main focus for nearly 30 years now and we like to think we're pretty good at it 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

🏡🏡 We offer home visits so you don't have to take time off of work
🕗💤 We offer evening appointments so that we can visit after dinner or when the kids are in bed
☕☕ We like to keep things as simple as possible, we can be done in the time it takes to have a cuppa

If now is the right the right time for you, simply call on 03333 66 00 67, email on [email protected] or comment below and we will get in contact to arrange a fixed fee, home or telephone appointment.
