For many people the process of thinking about their demise is a difficult thing to do. Writing a Will or to give it it's full name a Last Will and Testament is often seen by many people as something very complex. People often feel they need to commission a solicitor to get their Will written . They are worried about not knowing what the end costs are likely to be. Unfortunately none of us know what the future will hold and we all have a duty to our families and loved ones to ensure our affairs are in order.

Your Will can help you put your affairs in order, when completed they can provide great peace of mind for you and your whole family. It is very satisfying to know your last wishes have been documented you have appointed guardians for your children. Your prize possessions have been bequeathed to your loved ones, you may have even made provision for your pets and your assets have been protected from the ravages of the taxman.

Many of our customers have stated that they had been putting off writing their Wills for a long time It was not until they invited an Associate from Collective Legal Solution to make a free home visit that they realised how easy and painless it was to get their Wills written. Nearly all out customers wonder why they put it off so long!

Writing your Will should be the first part of any Estate Planning exercise, but why Estate Plan?

Benjamin Franklin's observation "there is nothing more certain than death and taxes" rings very true, or it does unless you have done some Estate Planning and written an effective Will.

By putting it off you may be ignoring one of the biggest single tax liabilities your family will ever face, that of Inheritance Tax.

When you die, if your estate is valued at more than £325,000 your family may have to pay Inheritance Tax on everything you owned above the current £325,000 figure. Included with this threshold figure is the value of your house, other properties, cars and any other assets you own.

The current tax rate for Inheritance Tax is 40%. Often this is money your family have to find before your assets can be transferred to loved ones. This may mean them borrowing large sums of money, which they may or may not be able to afford.

It is never too early to get your Wills written, the earlier you start the longer your tax planning has to take effect. Some forms of gifts and trust need seven years to achieve maximum tax efficiency. By getting your Will professionally written by Collective Legal Solutions you can achieve much more than just reducing your families Inheritance Tax Bill.
