A will ensures that your wishes are followed and your loved ones are looked after when you’re no longer here. Without one, the law decides who inherits what and it might not be what you’d have chosen.
An LPA gives someone you trust the ability to make important decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to. It brings peace of mind knowing everything will be handled by the right person, just as you’d want.
If there’s no will, their estate is divided according to strict legal rules not personal wishes. This can lead to delays, confusion, and distress for family members during an already difficult time.
