Wills and Estate Planning

Will writing and Estate Planning with Consulta Life…

Planning for the future is an essential part of securing peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones. At Consulta Life, we offer comprehensive will writing and estate planning services to help you safeguard your assets and ensure your wishes are respected when the time comes.

What is a Will?

A will is a legal document that states how you want your assets distributed after you die. It’s important to have a will so that your loved ones receive their inheritance and your estate isn’t distributed to people you don’t want to benefit from it. 

A will can also be used to nominate guardians for children and/or pets, specify any funeral wishes and consider any tax planning requirements

What happens if I don’t have a Will? 

If you don’t make a Will, you die ‘intestate’ and the rules of ‘intestacy’ will decide how your estate is shared out. These rules also override the wishes expressed in a Will that’s not legally valid, so it pays to get a Will right. 

Only married couples, legally married civil partners and some other close relatives, can inherit under intestacy rules. The following people have no right to inherit from you if you die intestate; unmarried partners, same sex couples not in a civil partnership, relations by marriage, close friends and carers.

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the process of organising your finances and personal affairs so that your assets are managed and distributed as you wish after you die. It can also include planning for how your properties and finances will be managed if you become incapacitated. 

The key components of estate planning include writing a Will, nominating a lasting power of attorney and potentially setting up Trusts.
