Investing in your family's future is the most important investment you can make.

When it comes to putting appropriate and bespoke estate planning in place, MVL Wills & Trusts are on hand to guide you through the process.

They will support you throughout the process of writing your Will, helping you understand all the different elements for consideration and leading you through the entire process.

Wills

Having a Will in place isn't about being morbid or worrying about impending doom. It's a practical approach to ensuring all your wishes are met and your estate doesn't go to the wrong people... or even to the state. Writing your Will means your loved ones will be the ones to benefit from the inheritance of your property and other assets, and also that your wishes with regards to dependant children will be adhered to.

No Will in place means:

• The estate is open to dispute which could then cause lengthy delays for your beneficiaries while it's being resolved
• Your Civil Partner or spouse does not automatically benefit from your estate 
• Common Law partners may not be entitled to any of your estate 
• There is no certainty that those who you would wish to benefit will actually do so
• There's a risk of children going into care until Guardians are appointed by the state

Trusts

Trusts are designed to protect children's inheritance for the future. Your children and grandchildren can benefit completely from the inheritance you want them to receive through the strategic use of Trusts which can also protect the family home and other assets from being lost to the costs of Long Term Care.

Without being in Trust, assets run the risk of being affected in the future by:

• Inheritance Tax bills
• Divorce or separation settlements of future generations
• Creditors or Bankruptcy claims
• Money leaving the family line due to remarriage
