No. However, you will need a Testamentary Trust if you have minor children or dependents with special needs, or if you simply want to prevent a large inheritance from being spent all at once.
Online templates cannot account for complex family dynamics, business succession, or nuanced asset distribution. A poorly drafted DIY Will is frequently contested in court. We provide legally robust, bespoke architecture that stands up to legal scrutiny.
Yes, as a Will only activates when you pass. Conversely, an LPA works while you're alive, usually coming into play when you suffer a stroke, run into an accident, or contract dementia. 

Through an LPA, you appoint a trusted person to pay your bills, manage your investments, and direct your medical care.
Frequently Asked Questions
THE RISK
Good intentions don't bypass the law.
An incomplete estate plan forces your family to deal with legal and financial difficulties during an already distressing time. A fragmented approach often leads to:
The Intestacy Trap. If you pass without a Will, the law determines how your assets are distributed and who manages your estate. This may not reflect your wishes or family dynamics.
Mismanaged Inheritances. A sudden lump sum to young and unprepared dependents threatens their long-term financial stability.
Living Emergencies. When you lose mental capacity, your family is locked out of critical funds unless they undergo a costly court process.
Lengthy Probate. Unclear instructions and DIY documents trigger disputes, delays, and stress for your family.
