You don't know what you don't know. ​See Basic Wills vs Life Interest Wills

 

The old type basic mirror Wills are causing a lot of problems. 

They simply don't work well for 21st century families, especially If you have children from

a previous marriage or relationship.

​

• Due to advances in medical science and better knowledge about nutrition and exercise, we are living a lot longer than generations before us.

• As a result, the chances of having more than one significant relationship in your lifetime is very high indeed. 

​

If you find yourself concerned about care home fees or if you have a blended family,

give us a call. 

​​​

Basic mirror Wills are offered for free or cheap all over the internet and there's a reason for that - they simply do not work in the way that most people think they do. There's a very real possibility that your children could be completely disinherited if you get it wrong.

 

A ten minute online Will service may give the impression that everything can be achieved without conversation and proper guidance, it really can’t. 

 

In the age of AI, when it comes to legal stuff, nothing replaces a good conversation with a real human being. Why? Because there are emotions involved when you talk about this stuff. People freak out when it comes to death or money.  where you're able to ask questions and get clarity on the outcome you're be happy with.

 

Speaking with an experienced Legacy Consultant about your own situation makes sure you have all the information you need to write a Will you feel really good about! 

​

Basic mirror Wills were better suited for a generation who when they got married, stuck with each other through thick and thin - whether they did or didn't like each other! 

That was how marriage tended to be in those days - for life.

There was no worry about having to sell their home to fund care home fees.

​

Things are very different today.

​

Divorce rates are high and the number of people in long term care is rising at an alarming rate. Relationships are changing and so have wills.

​

Blended families are commonplace and many people find themselves disinherited because their mum or dad remarried or coupled up and then unknowingly wrote the wrong type of will for that situation. 

​

Stuart Herd is one such person who lost his family inheritance because his father and step-mother unfortunately wrote basic mirror wills. People that have been disinherited in this unexpected way, never, ever get over the feelings of unfairness and disappointment - it literally affects them for the rest of their life both emotionally and financially.
