The way in which property has been left on death is often unsatisfactory sometimes the will was prepared in haste without professional help but even where the will was prepared professionally, it may have become unsuitable because the personal circumstances of family members have changed or tax legislation has altered. The introduction of the residence nil rate band in 2017 means that many wills prepared before that date are now unsuitable. Inevitably the current Covid pandemic will mean an increase in unsatisfactory wills in 2020/21.
However, families are not stuck with an unfortunate outcome. Statutory provisions allow the way in which assets have been left to be complete redrafting redrafted after death to achieve a better result.
Although private client practitioners use these provisions on a regular basis, this session looks at opportunities and traps which may catch you out.
This session examines:
- the alternative provisions available
- what can be achieved
- the pitfalls
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session the delegates will be able to:
- select and implement the appropriate provision;
- avoid the pitfalls
