Thinking about your home as part of your Will
For many people, the home is an important part of the conversation. Before choosing a Will arrangement, it helps to establish who owns it and how it is owned. A Will cannot simply override every form of joint ownership.
If you are considering a Property Protection Trust, discuss how the survivor should be able to use the property. Plans for moving, buying a replacement home, repairs and any surplus on downsizing should be addressed in the terms, rather than left to assumptions.
Questions to bring to your appointment
- Would the survivor want to remain in the home or have flexibility to move?
- Who should eventually receive your share, and what if that person dies first?
- Who could act as trustees and deal with the practical administration?
- How should ongoing expenses and major repairs be handled?
- What would you want to happen to surplus money after a smaller home is bought?
Existing title information, mortgage details and previous Wills can help the discussion. You do not need to work out the legal arrangement yourself before calling.
Understanding the limits as well as the benefits
A trust can be useful for certain family objectives, but it is not a universal answer and cannot guarantee a particular care-fee or tax outcome. We explain the issues that need to be considered for the people and property involved.
Your questions
Can I make a straightforward Will without a property trust?
Yes. The appropriate document depends on your objectives and circumstances. We can explain the options before you decide.
Does the visit cover lifetime decisions too?
We can discuss LPAs as part of your planning. These concern decisions during your lifetime and are separate from the arrangements in a Will.
For a useful introduction before we meet, read our guide to joint ownership and Wills.
