If You Don’t Have a Will, the Government Decides Who Gets Your Money

Are you among the 70% of UK parents risking their children's future?
Discover the hassle-free way to secure your legacy today.

It's a concerning statistic: Two-thirds of UK adults, including 70% of parents with children under 18, have yet to draft a will. Yet the implications of leaving this important document unwritten are grave:
  • Die without a will? You're deemed 'Intestate' and lose control of your assets.
  • Instead of honouring your wishes, UK law dictates how your assets are distributed.
  • The loved ones you leave behind could grapple with costly legal battles, eroding the very inheritance you hoped to provide.
  • Without proper estate planning, they could lose up to 40% to inheritance tax.
  • Risk having your cherished property go to unintended beneficiaries.
  • Your family's future becomes bound to outdated government procedures.
We understand your concerns. Time constraints, hefty solicitor fees, or perhaps a belief that "it won't happen to me" can push creating a will to the backburner.

3 Stark Warnings:
The Perils of Forgoing a Will

  • Margaret's Unintended Beneficiary: For 30 years, John and Margaret shared unwavering love. Yet, Margaret's past marriage to Gary, whom she hasn't seen in 40 years, looms large. Should Margaret pass away, an absent Gary stands to inherit her wealth, leaving John bereft.. .
  • Karen's Oversight: James loves all his children equally – three of his own and Karen, his cherished stepdaughter. But, without a will, James' unintentional oversight leaves Karen without her rightful, or intended share...
  • David's Unsung Heroes: Elderly David, without immediate kin, found solace and care in his neighbours. They became his newfound family. Yet, in his absence, the government might claim his assets, leaving those who truly cared for him empty-handed… Hardly fair is it?

These cautionary tales underscore the stark realities many face. Absence of a will often means the impersonal arms of the government dictate the fate of your assets, often sidelining genuine relationships.

Now, with innovative solutions at your fingertips, you can unequivocally express your intentions. Thousands across the UK have transcended their procrastination, safeguarding their legacy and reaping tax benefits. Act now, because 'tomorrow' might be too late.

Four Pathways to Protecting Your Legacy:

  • Roll the Dice: The simplest choice? Do nothing. But remember, this leaves your family's future in the unfeeling grasp of government protocol. Do you want bureaucracy to decide the fate of your assets and loved ones?
  • The Traditional Route: Enlist the services of a solicitor. If drawn-out meetings, hefty bills, and often inflexible solutions resonate with you, this might be your choice.
  • DIY Danger: Sure, there's always the do-it-yourself option. But even a minor oversight can render your Will legally null. One misstep might plunge your family into tedious legal battles, sapping both their finances and spirit.
  • The Legacy Wills Way: Recognizing the pitfalls of the above choices, we present a fourth option. A seamless, cost-effective method to obtain a legally sound Will, meticulously crafted to your individual circumstances. Protect your legacy, and grant peace of mind to those you hold dear.
