WILLS
& ESTATES
 Wiseman
Financial Planning Ltd are members of
The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners,
and have a dedicated Estate Planner who can help you to
ensure that the people you love receive your estate when
you pass away, rather than the taxman.
Whether it be a simple single will or mirror wills, or
Inheritance Tax Nil Rate Band planning, we will be happy
to offer cheerful and practical advice on a subject which
can often appear over complicated.
Things you should consider when making a will include:
- Beneficiaries - who will receive the estate
- Executors - who will ensure this happens
- Legacies - any special gifts of money or property
- Organ donation - for transplant/treatment of others
- Funeral arrangements - cremation, burial, religious
ceremonies, music, flowers
- Charitable donations - often requested instead of
flowers at the funeral
- Guardians for minor children - who will look after
the children if you die
Advance Medical Directives (Living Wills).
If you were to become seriously and irretrievably ill,
say, through advanced cancer or dementia, there may
come a time when your quality of life is so poor that
you would not wish to have it prolonged further.
Unfortunately, if you have not made the decision in
advance of this situation arising, you will not be considered
to be competent to make the decision when you are desperately
ill.
Often it falls to the next of kin to make a decision
not to prolong your life in that situation - a decision
that traumatises many sons and daughters each year.
By making an Advance Medical Directive you will be
instructing your doctors, whilst you are still competent
to decide, that you would not wish to have your life
prolonged under such circumstances.
This is one of the last kindnesses you can bestow upon
your children - the absolute knowledge that this is
what you would have wanted.
