FAMILY Legal talk With Elmhirst Parker Solicitors Talking to your family about your wishes for the future While nobody likes to think about a time when they are no longer around, talking to loved ones about what you would like to happen after you pass away is important. Making clear your future wishes for financial and practical matters can help put your mind at ease and make things much easier for those closest to you when the inevitable comes. But how do you approach the subject? “ wills disputes are common, especially when emotions are raw, and you should take steps to prevent a bitter family argument over money ” Elmhirst Parker’s wills and probate specialist, Matthew Murphy, has some tips for how to bring up difficult subjects such as wills, inheritance and Power of Attorney with family and friends. including what should happen to your property after you pass away, providing for those closest to you, and choosing who should take care of your financial affairs should you lose the capacity to do so yourself. Starting the conversation It can be challenging to bring up such serious matters without warning, so you should introduce the topic with a starting point. Perhaps your circumstances have changed; if you have remarried, had children or grandchildren, or moved home, it can be a good time to raise such matters with family members. It will seem more natural. If you are yet to make a will or Power of Attorney, this can also be a great way to introduce the conversation to your loved ones. Discussing your will One of the key discussions you will need to have is what should happen to your money and property after you pass away. Your estate may seem straightforward, and perhaps it is even obvious how your assets will be distributed. But wills disputes are common, especially when emotions are raw, and you should take steps to prevent a bitter family argument over money. Explain why you wish for your property to be distributed as you have set out, and do not be afraid that some people might feel hurt by what you have chosen to do. Wills discussions could even help you decide what is best for your family before you make a will or encourage you to amend your will to provide for your family in a way you never previously considered. Choosing Executors and Attorneys An important part of planning for the future is choosing who you would like to be responsible for your affairs after you have lost capacity or passed away. Attorneys A Power of Attorney gives someone else the power to make decisions on your behalf after losing the mental capacity to do so for yourself. You should choose a person you trust to be your financial attorney, and you should discuss the role with them in advance and ensure they are able and willing to act for you. Executors An executor is responsible for administering your estate after you have passed away. This can be quite an involved and time-consuming role, so it is essential that you discuss it with those who you would like to step in. You can appoint several executors, and you may even wish to appoint a professional such as a solicitor to deal with the more challenging parts of estate administration. *This is not legal advice; it is intended to provide information of general interest about current legal issues. • Residential conveyancing • Family and matrimonial • Probate and estates • Wills • Lifetime planning Speak to one of our experts on 01226 282238 17/19 Regent Street, Barnsley, S70 2HP (also in Royston, Selby and Sherburn-in-Elmet) www.elmhirstparker.com 44 aroundtownmagazine.co.uk
