Just leaving @itvMlshow studio. Hope you found it interesting or useful. Power of Attorney and wills are so important I like to do a show each year on it. Martin

Many mix these up A WILL only takes effect when you die. It decides who inherits your money, property & possessions A LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY is for while you’re alive. It lets someone you trust make decisions if you lose mental capacity (earlier if you choose) Both crucial.

Will Aid 2025 may be over, but donations are still coming in & its impact will be long-lasting. Thank you to every firm & every client who took part. We can’t wait to begin sharing how much has been raised & how it will help our charity partners reach even further ❤️ #WillAid

If you die without a legally valid Will, the #RulesofIntestacy decide who inherits. This could mean people inheriting when you didn’t intend them to & others receiving nothing at all. If your wishes matter to you, it’s vital they’re recorded properly. #WillAid

Our poll shows 66% believe the law should change so someone can’t inherit everything after marrying a vulnerable person shortly before their death. 72% also support clearer guidance on mental capacity when making a Will. What do you think, should #inheritance laws be updated?

📃 Would your Will stand up when it matters most? With inheritance disputes on the rise, a poorly drafted Will can leave loved ones facing legal costs & distress. That's why #WillAid only partners with firms of solicitors, to help ensure your wishes are valid & protected.

🫶 Thanks to the generosity of our participating solicitors, who give their time & expertise for free, every Will Aid donation supports the work of our partner charities. ❤️ More than £25m has been raised since 1988, with millions more promised in legacies. #WillAid #WillWriting

"I'm too young" "I have nothing to leave" "It'll sort itself out" These assumptions stop many people making a Will – but without one, the law decides who inherits – not you. Sign up to be the first to know when #WillAid returns in 2026 👇 ow.ly/PqQM50YbERB

Did you know the law that governs Wills in England & Wales dates back almost 200 years? 🕰️ That could finally be about to change. From electronic Wills to clearer capacity checks, reforms aim to make Will writing a better fit with modern life.

Are you aware of your loved ones' funeral wishes? Have you shared your own preferences with anyone? Planning, writing things down, and having conversations can spare loved ones uncertainty later on. @SunlifeUK #CostOfDying

Wills aren’t just for later life or large estates. If you have loved ones, a Will matters. Register now for Will Aid 2026: willaid.org.uk/early-bird #WillAid #WillWriting #Inheritance

🤔 Did you know? It’s often better to leave personal items out of your Will and use a letter of wishes instead. Small detail. Big difference. #WillAid #LetterOfWishes #WillWriting
