Questions
Do I need a solicitor to make a will?
No, but a will that isn't signed and witnessed correctly can fail, and mistakes are only found when it's too late to fix them.
How often should I review my will?
Every 5 years, and after marriage, divorce, a new child or a large change in what you own. Marriage cancels an earlier will in England and Wales.
What is a lasting power of attorney?
A document that lets people you trust make decisions for you if you lose the ability to. There are separate ones for money and property, and for health and welfare.
