Share | Sir Gerry Robinson explores the pain and emotion that making a will can cause by exploring the desires of the will maker with family and friends before the will is made.
There is a presumption in this country that children have the right to inherit their parents' property. They do not. A parent can make a will and dispose of property however he or she feels fit.
Discussing these issues before hand can alleveiate strife, anger and dispute after death. Thinking carefully about how property should be disposed of is essential. Talking about these issues (a very unBritish thing to do) should become the norm.
However, more important even than a will are Lasting Powers of Attorney. Our facebook page (see link to right of this post) provides information on this issue as does our website.
Whether its a will, an LPA or probate then Emmersons can help.
