SJP Estate planning
When you die without a Will, the law decides who inherits what and in what proportions.
Often, these rules do not achieve what the person would actually have wanted at their death. Having a well-constructed Will in place ensures that the those that you leave behind are provided for and that the right people who you know and trust are in control of the process.
The truth is that dying without a Will can make what is already a difficult time a lot harder for loved ones and particularly so when your assets are split across different countries and jurisdictions.
How we can help
Most people recognise they need a Will but simply don’t do anything about it, always putting it off to another day and a significant number of individuals die without one in place.
Many people put Will Writing into the “I’ll do that later” or the “That’s too difficult” list. We aim to make the process of writing a Will a seamless and simple one – offering a full Estate Planning Service.
Appointing guardians
Do not let a court decide who will look after your children. Be responsible and ensure that both temporary and permanent guardians are appointed.
Estate planning and family protection
The creation of wealth is a goal many aspire to. However, when it comes to providing for successive generations, the protection of wealth is important.
Enduring Powers of Attorney
Create an Enduring Power of Attorney to make sure that the right people take care of your finances if you don’t have the capacity to.
Advice relating to a Will, guardianship and Power of Attorney, involves a service that is separate and distinctive to those offered by St. James’s Place.
