Why do you need a will?

It’s uncomfortable to think about, but if you die without a will it can cause unnecessary distress for your family and friends.

Making a will enables you to control your assets and it is a key part of any estate plan. If you have no will when you die, decisions about your assets fall to the state and strict rules will determine how they are distributed. As distressing as it is to consider, your loved ones or favoured charities may get nothing.

Above all, Milburns professionally written wills give you peace of mind.

How to make a will

Before you visit Milburns, it’s useful to list your assets – your property, bank balance, stocks and shares, life insurance policies, vehicles and all your valuables and possessions. It’s helpful to estimate the value of these assets. Also consider who you would like to benefit in your will and how much you want them to receive.

Estate planning

Your assets can be shared out in different ways. For example, property can be divided into percentages so your beneficiaries can receive a fixed proportion of the value. Milburns wills and probate specialists carefully incorporate your individual needs, assisting with complex estate planning and inheritance tax matters.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a way of giving someone you trust – your ‘attorney’ – the legal power to act on your behalf if you no longer want, or are unable, to make decisions for yourself. Lasting powers of attorney can relate to your property and financial affairs and health and welfare decisions.
