Keeping informed about Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is crucial for protecting your loved ones are care for, assets, and avoid legal confrontations.

Please note:

• A Will is only valid if properly signed and witnessed.
• Any major life changes like marriage, divorce, or new children may affect your Will.
• Without legal advice, some parts of your estate might not be covered as you intended.
• LPAs must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before they can be used.

We’re here to guide you through every step—no jargon, no stress, just peace of mind.

Short Wills Stories

John Lennon

The famous Beatles singer was killed in 1980, leaving behind an estate which is reported to be worth over £220 million. Lennon did have a Will in place which named his wife, Yoko Ono and their son, Sean as the beneficiaries. However, Lennon’s other son from his first marriage, Julian, was not mentioned. Julian challenged this and following a 16 year legal battle is believed to have reached an out-of-court settlement of approximately £20 million.

Amy Winehouse

When Amy Winehouse tragically died in 2011, she left behind an estimated fortune worth £3 million. Winehouse did not have a valid Will in place when she passed, which meant her estate fell under the Rules of Intestacy. Given that Winehouse had recently divorced, under the Rules, her assets would be split between her parents. This sparked anger amongst her friends and fans as she reportedly had a strained relationship with her mum and dad. In 2019, her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, made an unsuccessful claim of £1 million on her estate. As a result, Winehouse’s wealth passed entirely to her parents, Mitch and Janis. 

You might think wills are just for older people, but that’s a myth. If you own a home, have savings, or care about protecting your partner, having a will makes sure what you’ve built goes where YOU want not where the system decides.
