This October we are celebrating Will Month, which means we are offering those aged 55+ a free professionally drafted single or mirror Will as part of our Barnardos partnership scheme. So, we thought we would catch up with Duncan, our Head of the Private Client Department, who specialises in Wills, probate, trusts, tax planning and Court of Protection matters.
It is common knowledge that we should all have a will, or we take the risk that our wishes may not be abided by, but all too often we do not even consider giving a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) or just put it off to a later date, by which time it may well be too late.
The UK’s largest children’s charity, Barnardo’s, depends on legacy gifts for up to half of their voluntary income, which goes directly towards funding vital support services for vulnerable children and young people.
