When someone dies without a Will, their family cannot simply decide between themselves who should receive their assets.

The law of Intestacy determines who is entitled to inherit.

There is also a difference between an Executor and an Administrator.

An Executor is appointed under a Will. Where there is no Will, an Administrator is appointed through the Grant of Letters of Administration.

This can make an already difficult time more complicated, particularly where the family situation is not straightforward.

For example, unmarried partners, stepchildren and other people close to the person who died may not inherit in the way the deceased would have wanted.

This is one of the reasons making a Will can be so important.

Thank you to Mrs C from Timperley for her kind words.

We understand that dealing with an Estate can be particularly difficult when you're also grieving the loss of someone close to you.

Our aim is to make the legal side as clear, straightforward and stress-free as possible 🩵

Being named as an Executor can feel overwhelming, particularly when you are also dealing with the loss of someone close to you.

💡 There is a process to follow…

You'll generally need to establish what the person owned and owed, deal with any Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, obtain the appropriate Grant of Probate, collect in the assets and then distribute the Estate in accordance with the Will.

You will also need to keep clear records throughout the process and prepare Estate Accounts.

Every Estate is different, and some can be much more complicated than others.

If you've been named as an Executor and aren't sure where to start, getting advice early can help you understand what needs to happen and avoid unnecessary problems later.

Save this Reel if you're an Executor, or share it with someone who may find it useful.

Your Attorney is the person you appoint to make decisions on your behalf under a Lasting Power of Attorney.

They must be 18 or over and have mental capacity to make their own decisions.

Your Attorney could be:

- Your husband, wife or partner
- An adult child or other relative
- An adult child or other relative
- A trusted friend
- A professional, such as a solicitor

They do not need to be a British citizen or live in the UK.

The most important question is whether you trust them to act in your best interests and make decisions in the way you would want.

Choosing an Attorney is an important decision, so it's worth taking time to consider who is right for you.

We enjoyed our Summer do in Manchester City Centre last week. The typical Manchester weather made an appearance too, with plenty of rain! ☔️

A well-deserved chance to relax and celebrate after all the hard work from the team throughout the year.

The story surrounding Jack Charlton's World Cup medal is a useful reminder that estate planning can involve much more than property and bank accounts 🏅

The right planning can help you understand how your assets may be treated and what options are available to you.

You don't have to own a huge amount of wealth to benefit from having a Will.

Your home, savings, personal belongings and, importantly, your wishes for your family can all be considered.

A Will gives you the opportunity to make those wishes clear rather than leaving important decisions to the rules of intestacy.

Save this post and share it with someone who thinks they are "too young" to need a Will.
