What is a 'Living Will'? ✍️

The term ‘Living Will’ is often used to refer to what’s known as an ‘advance directive’ in Scotland, or an ‘advance decision’ in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It is a written record of medical treatment that you may or may not wish to receive in the future. It will only come in to effect if you lose mental capacity or otherwise lose the ability to communicate your wishes.

Who should you choose to be your attorney? 🤔

No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, and it can be reassuring to plan ahead to make provision for yourself and your family if anything were to happen to you.

Making a will is a useful first step, but you may also consider making a Power of Attorney in case at any point you become incapable of managing your own affairs through age, illness or accident.

Can gifts you make during your lifetime be challenged after your death? 🤔

Making lifetime gifts to reduce the value of your estate on death for inheritance tax purposes is a useful way to preserve wealth down the generations.

However, there are many factors to consider when making gifts and it is therefore important to take tax and legal advice before making gifts.

What is a Larke v Nugus request? 🤔

Where there is a dispute about the validity of a will, one way to avoid unnecessary legal hurdles is for the will writer to prepare a statement about the circumstances in which the will was made.

A Larke v Nugus request is a letter that is sent to the professional who prepared the will to gather as much information as possible about how it was prepared and executed.

How can you leave your pension to the person you choose?

It’s easy to think that everything you own will be distributed according to your will when you die. Your pension, though, is a different matter.

You will need to specify who will benefit, via a particular form, known as a nomination form or Expression of Wish form.
