Wills

We all hope to live to a ripe old age, but you never know what’s around the corner. Therefore, it’s never too early to be thinking about a Will and what will happen to your children, property and estate after you’re gone.

Discretionary Trusts

There are instances when it’s not enough to just name your beneficiaries but to consider including Discretionary Trusts.

A Discretionary Trust means you leave your estate (or part of it) to a Trust, which would be managed by your appointed Trustees.

Examples of when a Trust may be appropriate could be where a beneficiary is:

  • Someone who doesn’t have the mental capacity to handle money
  • Disabled and receives means tested State benefits
  • Financially irresponsible
  • Someone who may be unduly influenced by another person

A Will is not for life

Many people feel that once they have had a Will drawn up, that is all they need to do until they die. However, getting a Will written is only the first step in ensuring your wishes are carried out following death.

Over time, personal circumstances change, the legal environment changes, and the will that was fit for purpose previously, may not be now. At Davies Estate planning, we strongly recommend that you review your Will every four to five years.

Andrew is very knowledgeable regarding estate planning. He took both my husband and myself through each option of the different type of wills which was really helpful as my husband had children from a previous marriage and we needed to protect some of my husbands money for them. He was friendly, approachable, professional and really helpful. When we suddenly thought of changes we needed to make, nothing was too much trouble. His total focus was on producing wills that worked for us. Would highly recommend him.

Andrew helped my husband with our wills, he was very professional and fully explained every detail nothing was too much trouble. He also helped with our Power of Attorneys. Andrew has a very pleasant manner and is very punctual with appointments. I would most certainly recommend him. The whole experience was good!

We recently got Andrew to re new my mothers will we were very pleased with the service he provided and appreciated the journey to make sure it was signed and sealed would use him again and recommend his services.

Andrew was always punctual and polite. He ensured that we understood each stage of the process, and the terminology used in the documents.

Andrew was understanding, professional, courteous and punctual. Happy to recommend him.

Andrew took great care to produce four Lasting Powers of Attorney for us and navigated us through the OPG system. They are all now safely registered and we were very grateful for his expert advice and assistance.

Very professional, explaining, and checking, we understand the wording and process.
