Basic Wills |
A Basic Will is essential to ensure that your Estate is distributed as you would wish. |
|
It is the foundation of Estate Planning and enables you to nominate Executors and Guardians. |
It provides no mitigation against Inheritance Tax nor any safeguards against the erosion of your Estate by Care Home Fees. |

Living Will |
A Living Will (also known as an Advance Medical Directive) provides the opportunity to document your wishes with respect to end of life medical treatment in a form that is accepted by both the BMA and RCN. |
|
A Living Will allows you to decide in advance of a debilitating illness or injury what is acceptable in the way of medical treatment or life support procedures, and comes into effect when you are mentally impaired, such as with a coma, and unable to communicate with medical professionals as to the acceptability of certain medical treatments. |
It may be advisable to seek advice from your General Practitioner or another medical professional. |
