We want to do this with the owners of a business too, so that overall, we help you, your business, and your family to avoid huge disruption, delays and expense later on.
A Will: Comprehensive Protection
Having a properly drafted Will is essential for every individual and business owner. A generic or inexpensive Will may fail to address critical details, leaving important matters unresolved. At McKenzie Legal, we work with experienced will-writers who understand the significance of a thorough, tailored approach. A well-crafted Will ensures that your wishes are accurately reflected and legally upheld, safeguarding your affairs. Cutting corners on this essential document can lead to significant consequences later, including financial loss, prolonged legal processes, and potential conflicts.
Establish Peace of Mind with a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
In addition to a Will, establishing a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a crucial step for individuals and business owners. An LPA allows your chosen individuals to manage your affairs, including finances and welfare, should you become unable to do so yourself. Whether due to an accident, illness, or age-related condition, having an LPA in place ensures that your appointed representatives can efficiently manage your financial matters and contribute to health and welfare decisions on your behalf. This proactive measure can save both money and distress, ensuring that your affairs are managed effectively during vulnerable times.
Avoiding Costly and Time-Consuming Processes
Without an LPA in place, your family would need to apply to the Court of Protection to appoint a deputy to handle your financial affairs – a slow and expensive process with numerous restrictions. This process is slow, very expensive, and subject to numerous restrictions. Furthermore, the absence of a registered LPA can severely restrict joint bank and business accounts if one account holder loses mental capacity. Banks and building societies may limit account usage to essential transactions only, impacting business operations and causing significant complications. By planning ahead with an LPA, you can avoid these issues and ensure smooth management of your affairs.
