In our experience a typical Will often leaves assets to a spouse or children in the event of death, whilst failing to address some of the common problems which can result in the drastic erosion of wealth. 

An example

ÿ        Consider the case of Mr and Mrs Smith, who have two grown up children, unfortunately Mr Smith dies leaving Mrs Smith and the two children.

ÿ        Mrs Smith re-marries and then dies before her new husband, leaving the estate to her widower and his children. Mrs Smith’s own children inherit none of the estate.

ÿ        Using the appropriate Estate Planning strategy would have allowed Mrs Smith to pass on wealth to her own children or other chosen beneficiaries and avoided the loss of family wealth.
