Crossing Your Fingers Doesn't Work

Last night's BBC 2 programme "Can't Take It with You - Charity Doesn't Begin at Home" was a fascinating insight to the type of challenges Will Writers face every day. 

With the increase of divorce, remarriage, cohabitation and complex family set ups which often include step-children , trying to make a decision on who you should leave your wealth to can cause big headaches.  

Then when you throw into the mix  partners who do not agree on where wealth should go you then really do need to speak to an experienced adviser who can steer you through the options and help you make the best choice using the estate planning tools avaialble.

When faced with difficult decisions people often stick their head in the sand and ignore the problems which could mean assets not going where they want them to.  Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best doesn't work when it comes to such an important documnet as your Will.
