Legal Pac Questions |
|
My wife and I are thinking about entering into a will as we have a child on the way. Are wills legal from the internet, as numerous people have told me that they are not eaglly binding?
It would certainly be a good idea to make a Will particularly if you have a child to consider. A Will enables you to make provisions for your child financially and in terms of selecting guardians if anything should happen to either one of you.
We cannot vouch for all wills purchased over the Internet, but our LegalPac does provide you with the tools you need to create a legally binding Will. Once you have created your Will using the software provided it is essential that you print it out, sign it and have it witnessed. A guide is provided in the LegalPac so that you know exactly how this procedure should be carried out. Once you have followed these simple procedures you will be in receipt of a legally binding Will that you are free to update as and when your circumstances change.

Can I make a joint will together with my wife?
You can make a joint Will together with your wife but our Will LegalPacs are not suitable for this - they are intended for one person only. You can of course, buy a LegalPac each and set out your Wills to be similar to each other's.

My father would like to leave his 50% share of the house to his two sons with a life interest to his wife. I know I have to have the deeds to the house changed to tenants in common as opposed beneficial. What I want to protect is our (I'm one of the sons) 50% share should my mother go into care. I have already downloaded the legalpac and I'm stuck on how to word this part of the will on behalf of my father.
The specific gifts and legacies section will deal with this.
In my view the local authority will be unable to force a sale in this case as the property will be held in common shares as opposed to a beneficial interest. They will not be able to force a sale of the property where the other trustee in common does not agree.
You would have to word the trust as follows.
Your father would leave his share in the house to you equally with your mother retaining a life interest in your fathers share such interest to relinquish and revert to you if she is taken into local authority care.
We cannot provide specific legal advice and would suggest you contact a specialist trusts Solicitor to advise you further before executing the will.
