Advantages Of Working With An Experienced Lawyer versus A DIY Kit

Using an experienced lawyer for preparing your Will and Power of Attorney offers significant advantages over relying on a do-it-yourself (DIY) kit. While DIY kits might seem cost-effective and convenient, they often lack the personalized guidance and legal expertise required to address complex individual circumstances.

An experienced lawyer at Truscello Nair LLP ensures that your documents are comprehensive, legally sound, and tailored to your specific needs and wishes. Lawyers can identify and address potential issues that a DIY kit might overlook, such as unique family dynamics, tax implications, and the precise wording needed to avoid ambiguities and disputes among beneficiaries. Furthermore, lawyers stay updated on the latest legal requirements and changes in the law, providing you with documents that comply with current regulations. By working with an experienced lawyer, you gain peace of mind knowing that your estate planning is thorough, accurate, and designed to protect your interests and those of your loved ones.

Top 5 Things to Discuss With Your Lawyer When Preparing a Will

1. Clearly Identify Beneficiaries and Assets: Make a comprehensive list of your assets, including property, investments, bank accounts, and personal items. Clearly specify who you want to receive each asset. This helps prevent misunderstandings and disputes among beneficiaries. 

1. Appoint a Trustworthy Executor: Choose an executor who is reliable, organized, and trustworthy to manage your estate. This person will be responsible for carrying out your wishes, settling debts, and distributing assets according to your Will. Discuss your decision with the chosen individual to ensure they are willing and prepared to take on this responsibility.

1. Consider Guardianship for Minor Children: If you have minor children, it is crucial to designate a guardian who will care for them if you pass away. Choose someone who shares your values and whom you trust to make important decisions for your children’s well-being. Discuss your choice with the potential guardian to ensure they are willing to accept this role.

1. Include Contingency Plans: Life is unpredictable, so it’s essential to include contingency plans in your Will. Specify alternative beneficiaries and executors in case your primary choices are unable to fulfill their roles. This ensures that your estate is managed and distributed according to your wishes, even if circumstances change.

1. Review and Update Regularly: Revisit your Will periodically, especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your financial situation. Regular updates ensure that your Will reflects your current wishes and circumstances. Keeping your Will up to date prevents potential legal complications and ensures your estate is handled as you intend.
