  Do I need to Make a Will?  

When relocating abroad or you invest in overseas property you Look forward to relocating abroad or a holiday home for the family. Often protection of your Overseas Property Investment is ignored.  This can cause expatriates and Brits living and working abroad confusion, expense and delay when the worst happens.

What Clients Need to Know:

If we could predict the future and knew exactly when we were going to die, making a Will would be a very simple process indeed. But of course, when we make a Will, we are catering not only for the present but as far as possible, the distant future.

Because personal circumstances can vary as time goes on, most people want to make a Will that covers as many different situations as possible. Most people think in terms of “What happens if…” questions.

þ      What happens if my wife dies before I do? 

þ      What happens if we are both killed together in an accident? 

þ      What happens if I leave everything to my son but he dies before I do?

þ      What happens if we have children from previous marriages?

þ      What happens if all my executors die before me? 

þ      What happens if my executors don’t want to or are unable to administer my estate?

þ      What happens if my executors can't deal with the overseas property ownership

þ      Can I trust strangers in a foreign land to look after my family?

These are some of the most common questions but this list in different combinations could be endless. You’ll see how these situations are catered for by ProACT Partnership's Expatriate Services offered by UK lawyers and UK Accountants when we analysis your circumstances and review your the current Will you may already have.  Our style is to make a Will that ensures your wishes are carried out after your death – tax efficiently considering also inheritance tax, domicile and use of trusts to protect assets.

Tough Love

A dying man smells his favourite oatmeal raisin cookies cooking downstairs. It takes all the strength he has left but he gets up from the bed and crawls down the stairs. He sees the cookies cooling on the counter and staggers over to them. As he reaches for one, his wife's wrinkled hand reaches out, smacks his and she yells: "No, you can't have those! They're for the funeral!"
