Estate planning
in Wanstead
Inherita helps people in Wanstead turn questions about family, property and future decision-making into a considered estate-planning conversation. Discuss a will, lasting powers of attorney or the best place to begin.
Make room for the detail behind your wishes
Around Wanstead’s High Street and green spaces, households bring a wide range of personal priorities to estate planning. You may want to provide for family, record specific wishes or simply make sure someone knows where to start.
A conversation is a chance to explain the context behind those wishes. Note any important relationships, existing documents and practical concerns, especially if different family members have different expectations.
Plan for more than one kind of future
Estate planning is not only about what happens after death. A lasting power of attorney can address who you appoint to make certain decisions during your lifetime, while your will deals with your estate.
The documents and choices that make sense depend on your own situation. We can help you understand the questions to explore, without promising a particular result on inheritance tax, care costs or any other financial outcome.

Questions from Wanstead
A few useful starting points. Your options depend on your individual circumstances.
Can I record personal wishes alongside my will?
You can discuss personal wishes and how best to communicate them. Not every wish has the same legal effect, so ask for advice on how a particular instruction should be recorded.
What is the difference between a will and a lasting power of attorney?
A will sets out instructions for your estate after death. A lasting power of attorney appoints people to make specified decisions for you during your lifetime if needed.
Can my executor also be a beneficiary?
That may be possible, but the right choice depends on your circumstances and the responsibilities involved. Raise any potential conflict or concern when discussing your will.
