🔹 A prime example of why it is so important to have your Will in order 📜 ✔

Widow loses battle with husband's first wife over mother-in-law's £840,000 will The High Court heard the widow's late mother-in-law called her son's second wife 'that bloody woman' and much preferred his pensioner ex - who she named in her will

🔹Some benefits of a Trust with your Will:

You can decide who should get assets and when. For example, you can enable your spouse to continue to live in the matrimonial home for the remainder of their life which would give them security, but ensure that the proceeds of sale will eventually pass to your children.

You can also hold funds for a vulnerable beneficiary, an individual who does not have capacity to manage their own finances. The money is held to be used for ‘extras’ for them such as holidays or hobbies, but the capital value is not theirs for assessment for means tested benefits.

It might also be wise to use a Trust in your Will if you make it at a time when one of your beneficiaries is getting divorced or is bankrupt.

🔷 Making a will or updating your current one, may not be high on your list of priorities when you are going through the experience of separation or divorce but it is something that will need to be on your to do list. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all relating to this.
