We at Tenovus Cancer Care are proud to partner with Lyons Bowe Solicitors to help protect families and create lasting legacies

 A Will is the simplest, most effective way to make sure your wishes are known and your loved ones are protected. Taking a little time now brings lasting peace of mind for you and those you leave behind.

• You can decide: A Will lets you decide who inherits your assets, rather than leaving those decisions to chance.
• Protect loved ones: You can name guardians for minor children, make provisions for pets and specify how and when beneficiaries should receive their inheritance.
• Avoid any confusion and conflict: Clear instructions reduce the risk of family disputes and delays when you’re gone.
• Speed and clarity: Having a Will can make the estate process quicker and more straightforward for those you care about.
• Shape your Legacy: You can make gifts in your Will to continue supporting the people or even charities and projects you care about, often for generations to come.

What can happen without a Will

• If you die without a Will your assets will be distributed under the rules of intestacy.
• The intestacy rules only recognise certain family relationships and won’t consider your individual circumstances.
• Children may not be placed with a guardian you would have chosen.
• Valuable time and money can be spent sorting out your affairs during an already difficult time.

Gifting to Charity

• As well as leaving behind a valuable legacy, making gifts to charity can have positive tax advantages. Lyons Bowe Solicitors can explain the common approaches to gifting and provide tailored advice.

Making a Will with Lyons Bowe Solicitors is quick, clear and compassionate. We offer friendly and flexible appointments to suit you.  

Don’t leave it to chance. Book a no-pressure consultation with Lyons Bowe Solicitors today and take the first step toward protecting your family and your legacy.

Plan today and protect tomorrow with a Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets you choose who can make important decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so. Putting an LPA in place is one of the clearest, most caring steps you can take to protect your independence, your finances and the wellbeing of those you love.

What is an LPA?

• An LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more trusted people (attorneys) to make decisions for you if you lose capacity or need help managing decisions in the future.
• There are commonly two types of LPA: one covering property and financial affairs, and another for health and welfare decisions.

Why an LPA matters

• An LPA allows you to choose who acts for you and also allows you to set limits or instructions about how decisions should be made.
• With an LPA in place, the people you trust can act on your behalf without needing to apply to a court for authority.
• Having LPAs means you appointed attorneys can manage bills, benefits, property for you and also make health care decisions consistent with your wishes.

What can happen without an LPA

• In many jurisdictions, if you lose capacity without an LPA, family members may need to apply to the court for permission to act, a process that can be time-consuming, costly and emotionally draining.
• Delays in paying bills, accessing funds, or making care decisions can add stress to an already difficult time.
 
Making an LPA with Lyons Bowe Solicitors is straightforward and supportive. We discuss your situation, priorities, and tailor your LPAs for you. 

Protect your future and make things easier for the people you trust. Book a no-pressure consultation with Lyons Bowe Solicitors to find out how a Lasting Power of Attorney can give you control and peace of mind.
