Updating a Will might seem straightforward, but a codicil that is not drafted correctly can create more problems than it solves. Read more πŸ‘‡

The witnessing process alone is enough to catch people out. Even a minor error in how the codicil is signed or witnessed can render it completely invalid, meaning the amendment you intended to make never takes effect.

On top of that, the codicil must accurately reference the original Will and set out any changes with absolute clarity. Vague or ambiguous wording, even when the intention seems obvious to you, can lead to disputes between beneficiaries further down the line that are costly, stressful and entirely avoidable.

❌ An invalid codicil means your wishes are not reflected in your estate.

If your circumstances have changed and your Will needs updating, the right step is to speak to a Solicitor. We can ensure any amendments are made correctly, clearly and in a way that protects your estate and the people who matter most to you.

Most people focus on who to appoint as their attorney without fully understanding what that person will be responsible for.

Knowing the duties involved is just as important as the decision itself, and it makes a real difference to getting the right plans in place for the people you love.

Today marks the beginning of Men's Mental Health Week, and this year we want to talk about something that does not get discussed nearly enough πŸ‘

For a lot of men, the thought of sitting down to sort out a Will or a Power of Attorney gets pushed to the back of the queue. There is always something more pressing, something that feels more immediate.

But that quiet worry of not having things in order, of not knowing what would happen to the people you love if something happened to you, sits there in the background and it is heavier than most people admit.

Getting the right plans in place is one of the most responsible and reassuring things you can do, for yourself and for the people who matter most to you.

This week, if there is something you have been putting off, let this be the nudge to take that first step.

"As a business owner, what legal documents should I prioritise?"

A question we get asked more than you might think, and one that every business owner, whether you are just starting out or have been running a business for years, should know the answer to.

What a way to finish the week πŸ’›

We are so pleased we could help Mr and Mrs H from Stretford with their Wills, and that Claire was able to make the process feel clear and straightforward from start to finish.

Taking the time to properly explain things and make sure our clients feel confident in every decision they make is so important to us. It is never just about getting the paperwork right, it is about making sure the people sitting across from us feel genuinely looked after throughout.

Thank you so much to Mr and Mrs H for taking the time to share this, it truly means a great deal to the whole team.

If you or someone you know has been thinking about getting a Will in place, there is no better time than now.

Have a wonderful weekend from all of us at Leech & Co. 😊

If you are one of the millions of people caring for a loved one, this week is for you 🩡

Carer's Week is an annual campaign that highlights the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognises the incredible contribution carers make to families and communities across the UK.

The Caring About Equality report, published in June 2025, found that over a fifth of people in the UK, around 22%, are providing unpaid care, with an estimated 11.9 million people caring for someone right now.

Caring for someone takes enormous dedication, and it often means putting your own needs and plans to one side. One of the things that frequently gets overlooked in the midst of caring responsibilities is legal planning, both for the person being cared for and for the carer themselves.

If the person you care for has not yet set up a Lasting Power of Attorney, and they still have mental capacity to do so, putting one in place now means you have the legal authority to manage their affairs, make decisions about their care, and act on their behalf without facing unnecessary barriers at an already difficult time.

We understand that this is not always the easiest conversation to have. We are here to make it as simple and stress-free as possible, at a time and place that suits you.
