Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a Will?
Yes. A Will ensures your wishes are followed and helps protect the people you care about. Without one, strict legal rules decide who inherits your estate, which may not reflect what you would have wanted.
When should I make a Will?
There’s no “perfect” time — but having a Will in place sooner rather than later gives peace of mind. If you own property, have savings, children, or want control over what happens after you die, it’s a good idea to act now.
Can I change my Will later?
Absolutely. Your Will can be updated at any time to reflect changes in your circumstances, such as marriage, divorce, moving home, or changes in your family.
What happens without a Lasting POA?
Without an LPA, your loved ones may need to apply to the Court of Protection to make decisions for you if you lose capacity. This can be time-consuming, stressful, and costly. An LPA avoids this by putting your chosen people in charge.
Do I need both types of LPOA?
Yes. A Property and Financial Affairs LPA and a Health and Welfare LPA cover very different decisions. Having both in place ensures your finances and your personal welfare are looked after by the right people.
Is this only for older people?
No. Wills and LPAs are about planning ahead, not age. Illness or accidents can happen at any stage of life, and having these documents in place protects you and your family.

Why are Wills important?
A Will is one of the simplest yet most important documents you can put in place. It allows you to decide what happens to your money, property, and possessions after you die — and just as importantly, it helps protect the people you care about.
Without a valid Will, the law decides how your estate is dealt with. This can lead to outcomes you may not have wanted, delays for your loved ones, and unnecessary stress at an already difficult time.
A properly written Will can:
- Ensure your assets go to the right people
- Appoint guardians for young children
- Reduce the risk of family disputes
- Make the process quicker and easier for those dealing with your estate
- Give you peace of mind that everything is in order
Many people assume Wills are only for the wealthy or elderly, but life can change quickly. If you own property, have savings, children, or simply want clarity and control over what happens after you’re gone, having a Will in place is essential.
Most importantly, a Will is a final act of care — it makes things clearer, calmer, and easier for the people you leave behind.
If you’re ready to put a Will in place, or simply want to talk through your options, I’m here to help. Get in touch today for a friendly, straightforward conversation — with no pressure and no jargon.
Why is a Lasting Power of Attorney important?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so yourself.
Many people assume their family can automatically step in, but without an LPA in place, this isn’t the case. Important decisions may be delayed while an application is made to the court — often at a time when clarity and speed matter most.
There are two types of LPA, and both play an important role:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPA – covers decisions such as managing bank accounts, paying bills, dealing with property, and handling day-to-day finances.
- Health and Welfare LPA – covers decisions about medical treatment, care arrangements, and day-to-day wellbeing, including life-sustaining treatment if needed.
Putting both LPAs in place ensures the right people can step in, make decisions in your best interests, and follow your wishes when it matters most.
