LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY

If you have any doubts about the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorney please watch the 2 minute clip above and then read on…..

Have you ever considered what would happen if you became unable to manage your own affairs either through an accident or an illness? It is a fact that there are 950,000 people suffering from Dementia in the UK today and that number is set to soar to 1 million by 2025. Who would manage your affairs if the worst  should happen to you or a member of your family ?

The answer is in a correctly drawn up and registered Lasting Power of Attorney issued by the UK Government which allows you to choose your Attorneys, most often these will be spouses, Sons, Daughters or other trusted family or friends. These trusted people are then able to act on your behalf in the event that you are unable to act for yourself.

These services are now available in Spain and are available to all British people who live there over the age of 18. As a member of ‘The Society of Will Writers and Estate Practitioners, we are committed to ensuring that all customers are given the best advice to suit their circumstances.

WILL WRITING

A correctly drawn up Will is the first and most basic step to future Estate Planning, a Will is the cornerstone of making sure that your family and not the government benefit from your passing and now,  due to the new EU Directive known as “Brussels IV” it has become particularly important if you are a resident of any EU member state (such as Spain) and want to simplify the Succession and Probate process for your children.

Many people try to save money by writing their own Will. This can often be a false economy, as Probate Lawyers say they earn far more from sorting out incorrectly or badly drafted Wills than they do from the modest fee they charge for a professionally drafted Will. If you make a mistake on your Will it is your beneficiaries who pay the price.

When drafting a Will there is much to take into consideration including the laws relating to taxation, property law, succession and family law. It takes years of study and many hours of ongoing training each year to keep up to date in these areas. Can you really afford to take the risk with the financial security of your family?

We have a growing practice of qualified associates in the UK and Spain. Where ever you live we can help you navigate the complex area of succession law.HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR WILL? ASK OUR EXPERTS.
