NARPO Partner: Harvey Howell Solicitors

Distributed on behalf of our Corporate and Gold Partners Harvey Howell Solicitors
ATTENDING THIS SEMINAR COULD SAVE YOUR FAMILY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS

We are NARPO Corporate and Gold Partners and following the success of our seminars last time, we are holding further free seminars for NARPO members in NARPO Region 2. The next seminars will be in Leeds, Barnsley, Harrogate & Newcastle.

SOME THINGS WE WILL LOOK AT - DO YOU HAVE A STANDARD/FREE/BASIC/DIY WILL? IS THAT REALLY GOOD ENOUGH?

You might have put a STANDARD WILL in place – OK - but these often just repeat what the law says anyway if it leaves everything to the surviving spouse and then the children. What about care home fees, probate fees, bankruptcy, children of previous relationships, looking after vulnerable children or relatives, guardianship of children and grandchildren, claims against the estate by unhappy relatives, stealth taxes through probate registration charges – the Chancellor trying to get the government's hands on your or your family’s inheritance – THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS TO CONSIDER.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT?

Will the government hit bereaved members’ families by cashing in on inheritances to fill the £500billion hole in government finances due to the pandemic and fuel crisis!

The Chancellor has abolished the planned cap on care costs, so many homes and therefore planned inheritances for children and grandchildren will continue to be lost to pay for care – can you do anything about this? We can help guide you through this complex area of law.

What if you or a member of your family loses the ability to make decisions for themselves due to an accident, stroke or dementia? No-one can access their bank accounts, pay bills or even decide on their medical treatment, including where and how they are treated and whether or not they have to live in a care home.

These decisions are taken out of your family’s hands - we can help your family have a voice through Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Estranged children or other relatives can make claims against an estate even if you have made a Will - we can help prevent that.

Don’t leave your estate to family members with a disability or additional needs who will lose their benefits or those who are vulnerable perhaps with drugs, gambling or alcohol problems who might lose it - put it in trust for them.

Don’t give your house away, for example, to your children whilst you are alive – what if they die, go bankrupt, divorce or fall out with you? You are homeless. We can sort that out.

Are you unmarried with a partner? Dying without a Will distributes your estate in accordance with very old law which dictates how much family members receive. Unmarried partners receive nothing and, beware, your childrens’ inheritance is administered by their surviving parent with whom you may no longer have a good relationship.
