Making a Will: Who will inherit if you don’t decide?
Have you thought about what would happen to your assets if you died without a Will? It’s a difficult topic
A power of attorney can protect you, and those you love, if you’re no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you pick someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. This applies during your lifetime and to a range of situations. For example, they can make decisions about your health or your money. Choosing someone you trust means peace of mind – you know they’ll act in your best interests. It can also make matters much easier for your family, emotionally and practically.
We can advise you on every aspect of incapacity law and Lasting Power of Attorneys, including:Â
I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.
If you were to lose your mental capacity before creating a lasting or enduring power of attorney, your family would have to apply to the court of protection to appoint a deputy to manage your affairs. They might also have to ask the court to decide what welfare decisions would be in your best interests. Any court application can be a daunting prospect. Our team has years of experience in applications and protection orders under incapacity law and we can take care of the entire process for you.Â
