At WT Solicitors, we hear a lot of myths – and we’re here to set the record straight.🔍 Lets bust a few of the most common ones:❌ Myth #1: “I don’t have enough assets to need a Will.”
✅ Fact: If you own anything – from a home to savings to personal items – a Will ensures they go to the right people.❌ Myth #2: “Everything automatically goes to my partner.”
✅ Fact: Unmarried partners aren’t recognised under intestacy laws – they could receive nothing unless you have a valid Will.❌ Myth #3: “Trusts are just for tax dodgers and millionaires.”
✅ Fact: Trusts can be a smart, practical tool for families – especially if you have young children, vulnerable relatives, or complex family dynamics.❌ Myth #4: “Once I’ve written a will, I never have to think about it again.”
✅ Fact: Major life events like divorce, children, or a property sale mean you should review and update your plan.
