Description

Tony continues with his series on inheritance and safeguarding your estate for your family with this episode on why wills and power of attorney agreements can be vital.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you don't create a will in readiness for your passing your estate could be inherited by someone you had not envisioned taking over your wealth and assets.
• The Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint an attorney to make decisions about matters such as your medical care, where you live, your daily routine such as what you eat and what you wear, whom you have contact with and whether you have life sustaining treatment only if you have given express permission. 
• The Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney gives your attorney the power to do things such as buy and sell your property, pay your bills, collect your pension or benefits, and manage your bank accounts.
• Only 13% of adults have written a living will which is used to provide advanced decisions on refusing medical treatments if you become terminally ill or lose the ability to make decisions for yourself.  

BEST MOMENTS

‘Worryingly 3 in 5 UK adults have not written a will and that's research carried out by Canada Life.'

‘What we need to remember is that a will can provide peace of mind that not only will the correct beneficiaries benefit from an estate distribution, but also that it is done as efficiently as possible at such a difficult time.'

‘A will can help reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax that might be payable on the value of a property and monies that you leave behind.'
