If you fail to make a Will and leave everything to chance you will die intestate, the "intestacy rules" will apply. The rules will govern who benefits from your estate. The non-contentious probate rules set out who is able to apply to be your personal representative.
It really doesn't matter how large or small your estate is, by making a Will you are giving yourself the opportunity to make certain decisions about how your property and affairs will be dealt with.By making a Will you are able to choose who you would like to be your Executors (personal representatives).

Divorce/Dissolution of Civil Partnership- ex spouse treated as predeceased as to gifts and appointment as Executor or Trustee;. Widow/widower remarries - consider leaving second NRB to someone other than the new partner in circumstances where the whole of the NRB has been used from the deceased's estate to the widow/widower.
A Lasting Power of Attorney provides an opportunity to make provision in advance for the possibility of you becoming incapable of managing your own financial and welfare affairs. This is even more important now due to life expectancy increasing along with mental incapacity.
By putting an LPA in place whilst you are fit and well enables you to choose who will have the responsibility for looking after your affairs at a time when it is vital that they are dealt with efficiently and sympathetically.Without a Lasting Power of Attorney it would be necessary to make an application to the Court of Protection for a person to be appointed as a Deputy.

It can be distinguished from a health and welfare lasting power of attorney, which in effect appoints a healthcare proxy to step into the patient's shoes to make decisions in the patient's best interests at a time when the patient lacks mental capacity.Neither patients nor their relatives can demand specific treatment to be given.

I’ve used Mandy at Weston’s wills and probate numerous times over recent years covering all aspects of her expertise. Her guidance on the way forward and solutions to issues that she has suggested has been excellent. She is extremely commutative and responsive, and handles difficult situations with compassion and empathy. I have happily and confidently recommend her services to everyone I know that would benefit from her services
