Protecting your future starts before the wedding day.

Marriage is one of life's biggest milestones, but many couples never discuss how they would protect assets or family wealth if circumstances changed in the future.

In this week's Future Proof Actions video, Kelly Geter, recently voted Hampshire Law Society's Junior Lawyer of the Year, explains why pre-nuptial agreements are becoming an increasingly important part of modern financial planning, and why having the conversation before you say "I do" can provide clarity and reassurance for both parties.

Research suggests up to 1 in 5 marriages may have a prenup (Marriage Foundation). But, this is ever increasing as Handelsbanken found that 40% of those who are under 34 have a prenup in place.

Watch the video to discover when a pre-nuptial agreement may be appropriate and the practical steps you can take to protect your future.

Would your will actually achieve what you intend?

DIY wills and online will-writing services can appear to offer a quick and inexpensive solution. However, mistakes are often only discovered after death, when they can no longer be corrected.

An invalid will, unclear wording, or failure to account for modern family arrangements can lead to disputes, delays, unexpected inheritance outcomes, and significant legal costs.

Our latest article explores the common risks of DIY wills and why professional advice can help protect your wishes and your loved ones.

Two members of our Private Client team, Lisa Perry and Lynn Annis, were delighted to speak with residents and families about the two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney, covering Property and Financial Affairs, Health and Welfare, choosing the right attorneys, and what happens if someone loses mental capacity. The session also explored the role of the Court of Protection and Deputyship Orders.

It was fantastic to see so many people attend and ask thoughtful questions. We are passionate about helping individuals and families understand their options and make informed decisions for the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to returning for another session soon.

Future planning is about more than finances and Wills. It is about making sure the right people can support you if life takes an unexpected turn. Sorting out an estate can be far more complex than many people realise, especially for the executors responsible for managing it.

In this week’s Future Proof Actions video, Sian Lias discusses the practical difficulties executors can face when trying to identify assets, liabilities, and obtain accurate valuations after someone has passed away.

Watch the video to discover why organised estate planning can make a significant difference for those left to manage your affairs.

Does every financial remedy case involve hidden assets?

Recent media coverage of the Gohil case might make it seem that divorce disputes regularly last for decades.

However, most financial remedy cases are resolved far quicker, but the case serves as an important reminder of the consequences of failing to provide full and honest financial disclosure.

In our latest article, Daniel Weintroub explains what the Gohil case means for divorcing couples and why specialist legal advice can make all the difference.

Yesterday, members of the Phillips Law team attended the annual A Place to Be Proud Of Awards, organised by Destination Basingstoke.

It was an inspiring evening celebrating the individuals, charities, volunteers, and community initiatives that make Basingstoke such a special place to live and work.

We were delighted to sponsor the Above & Beyond Award, recognising those who consistently go the extra mile for others. The calibre of all four finalists was exceptional, and congratulations to this year's deserving winner, Matt Woods, whose commitment to supporting multiple local organisations is truly inspiring.

We were also delighted to share a table with Citizens Advice Basingstoke and to see Graham Hatcher receive special recognition for his contribution to the local community.

Events like these are a powerful reminder of the incredible people working behind the scenes to support others every day.

Today was Phillips Laws 40 hour treadmill challenge

To raise money for Victoria’s Promise, and in honour of our 40th anniversary, we had our running shoes on today.

From 8am - 6pm, 70 of our staff members walked, jogged and ran on a station of treadmills.

It was an incredible, but tiring event which had atmosphere (due to a brilliant playlist) and a lot of sweaty bodies, as we knew that we were all pitching in for a good cause.

There is still time to donate, follow this link:

Many thanks to all who took part, cheered on and supported from afar. ambition
