Wills and the Family Bloodline

The drawbacks of a basic Will are the risks of your child experiencing a divorce or financial difficulty, which could put their inheritance at risk.

A common concern among our clients is the possibility of their child’s inheritance leaving the family bloodline. While you may currently trust and get along with your child’s spouse or partner, unforeseen circumstances such as a relationship breakdown could expose their inheritance to divorce settlements.

Significantly reducing the wealth you intended to benefit your family. Instead of passing down to your grandchildren.

At April King, we offer April Wills®, a practical and robust solution to safeguard your family's inheritance. These bespoke Wills:

Help protect your assets from divorce settlements and creditors.
Ensure your wealth stays within your family bloodline.
Ring-fence inheritance in case your children require care in the future.

Planning ahead is crucial. Once your child inherits, it will be too late to implement these protections. April Wills® are available to individuals and couples, allowing you to secure your legacy for beneficiaries aged 18 and above.

Future Care Fees

The cost of care can quickly erode a person’s estate and put one of your most valuable assets at risk: your home, leaving little for your family.

Imagine spending decades paying off your property, only to realise that, without the proper planning, the majority of your home could be used up within just a few short years of full-time care. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

April Wills® offer a legitimate, practical solution designed to protect your home and shield your family’s inheritance. By acting now, you can safeguard the wealth you’ve worked hard to build and ensure that your family home stays where it belongs-with your loved ones.

Some people attempt to avoid care fees by directly transferring property to their children or into a 'Living Trust'. However, such strategies carry significant risk as they may be deemed deliberate deprivation of assets, leading to devastating legal and financial complications.

By creating two April Wills® Wills, couples can:

Ensure their property passes down to children and grandchildren.
Avoid the risks of deliberate deprivation of assets.
Maintain financial security and flexibility for the surviving partner.

Taking proactive steps is crucial. Suppose one spouse or partner misses the opportunity to update their Will due to an accident, stroke, or loss of mental capacity, like dementia or Alzheimer’s, couples may no longer have access to legitimate protective planning, such as April Wills®.

Prevent potential will disputes by structuring your Will clearly and carefully.
Address concerns about disinheritance, providing safeguards to minimise legal challenges.
