Why planning matters
Understanding the importance of planning
Without a valid will, the law decides how much of an estate passes to certain relatives. That outcome may not reflect your family, your relationships or your intentions.
Probate is the process of dealing with a person's assets and liabilities after death. Executors often need help checking the will, identifying assets, handling applications and responding to questions from beneficiaries.
A lasting power of attorney must be arranged while you have the required mental capacity. It can give trusted people authority to act on financial or welfare matters when you cannot act yourself.
