It’s never easy to consider what might happen in the future, but there are some lesser known ways that a Will can help safeguard your future.

Sharing a life with someone you care about is a very special thing and often it means that you build a future together, too.

We always strive towards a bright future, planning trips and saving for holidays and homes, maybe even achieving our goals! But how can we protect that future from some of the unexpected inevitabilities?

Building a future together can also mean preparing for the things that we would rather avoid, but that preparation will ultimately relieve stress and further heartache in the case of a bereavement.

It can be difficult to think about what will happen to people in your life after you are gone, but a Will is essential to helping safeguard the future of the ones you love. Not only can this document ensure that your wishes are followed when it comes to your assets and estate, but it can help protect the future of your loved ones.

For instance, if you and your spouse or partner own a home, you might find that this property will become part of calculations for care home fees.

We can advise you on ways to possibly  protect a share of the property for future generations, should the survivor require full time care in the future.

In addition, we can also help write a Will to reflect a variety of other circumstances in your life, such as children from a previous marriage to ensure they still inherit a share of your estate whilst providing for your spouse.

A Will can provide you with assurances that instructions will be followed, with your life and your future in mind.

It’s always important to spend some time in the present preparing for the future, and that’s where Jackson Lees can help. Our empathetic and sympathetic specialists are here to help you plan for the future and give you peace of mind during difficult times.
