You work hard to protect your family. But have you thought about what would happen to your home, savings and the people you love if you were no longer here?
Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to help protect your family’s future. It allows you to set out your wishes, decide who should benefit from your estate and provide greater clarity for your loved ones.
At Protected Life, we believe financial protection goes beyond life insurance. That’s why we work with a specialist Will writing partner to help you put the right plans in place for the future.
Whether you’re making your first Will, updating an existing one or exploring ways to protect your assets, we’re here to help you take the next step.
Your family’s future matters. Let’s help you protect it.
A Will allows you to decide how your estate should be distributed after your death.
Without a valid Will, your estate will generally be distributed according to the rules of intestacy. This may mean your assets are not passed on in the way you would have wanted.
Having a Will in place can help you:
Make your wishes clear and help reduce uncertainty for your loved ones during a difficult time.
Decide who you would like to inherit your money, property and possessions.
If you have children under 18, you can express your wishes regarding who should care for them.
Consider how your estate should be managed and distributed, including whether a trust may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Knowing your wishes have been documented can provide reassurance for both you and your family.
A Single Will allows you to set out how you would like your estate to be distributed after your death.
Whether you own a property, have savings or simply want to make sure your wishes are followed, having a Will in place can help provide clarity and reassurance.
Mirror Wills are commonly used by couples who wish to make similar arrangements for their estates.
They can allow partners to set out matching wishes, such as leaving their estate to one another before passing it on to children or other beneficiaries.
Although Mirror Wills are often similar, each Will is a separate legal document.
A Trust Will can allow you to include specific arrangements for how certain assets are managed or distributed after your death.
Depending on your circumstances, a trust may help you provide for loved ones, manage how an inheritance is received or address particular estate planning objectives.
Trusts can be complex, so professional advice is important when considering whether this type of Will is suitable for you.
Planning for the future isn’t only about what happens after you die.
A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the mental capacity to make those decisions yourself.
A Will can be important for people at many different stages of life.
You may want to consider making a Will if you:
Even if you already have a Will, it is worth reviewing it following major life events such as getting married, having children, buying a property or starting a business.
At Protected Life, we understand that protecting your family’s financial future involves more than one solution.
Life insurance can provide a financial payout following your death, helping your loved ones manage financial commitments such as a mortgage, household bills and everyday living expenses.
A Will allows you to set out how your estate should be distributed and who you would like to benefit.
Together, life insurance and a Will can form an important part of your family’s financial protection.
It’s about making sure the people you love are protected, whatever the future may hold.
