The following are two key considerations that can work alongside your Will.
Trust Planning
A Trust is a legal arrangement that can help ensure that life policies, for example, are paid out speedily to the beneficiaries. This would mean that there’s one less issue to worry about at a difficult time for the family.
A Trust can also be used to protect beneficiaries who might be too young to handle their affairs.
Consider the children
If a Guardianship arrangement is not in place to protect young children – and both parents were to sadly die at the same time – then the children may have to go into care!
The simplest way to protect against this is through a Will, or by having a Guardianship letter in place, both of which will set out your wishes, and whom you want to appoint as a guardian.
Similar issues may occur if a couple aren’t married, where the mother dies and she hasn’t previously granted parental rights.
Not all protection policies should be written in Trust, so do take advice.
