Estate planning
in Woodford
Inherita offers people in Woodford a place to begin discussing wills, lasting powers of attorney and estate planning. A clear outline of your priorities can make a first conversation more useful, even if you are still weighing up your options.
Bring clarity to a changing household
Woodford includes established neighbourhoods, local centres and households whose needs evolve over time. A move, a new relationship, children becoming adults or taking on caring responsibilities can all prompt a fresh look at existing arrangements.
Rather than starting with a document, start with the practical questions: who should be involved, what decisions feel important, and what would you like to happen if you could no longer make a decision yourself?
Review documents as part of the bigger picture
An older will may not reflect current wishes, and a will does not appoint someone to make decisions during your lifetime. Looking at your arrangements together can help you see whether there are gaps to discuss.
Keep copies of existing documents and note any changes since they were made. The best next step depends on your own circumstances; no particular tax or care-fee outcome can be assumed.

Questions from Woodford
A few useful starting points. Your options depend on your individual circumstances.
When should I review my will?
Consider a review after a significant change in your family, finances or wishes, or if you are unsure whether an older document still reflects your intentions. Ask for individual advice before making changes.
Can an attorney change my will for me?
A lasting power of attorney does not give an attorney general authority to make or change your will. If you have questions about capacity or a specific situation, seek appropriate legal advice.
Can you help me work out what documents I already have?
You can describe what you have when enquiring, and we can suggest what may be useful to bring to an initial conversation. Keep original documents secure and do not send sensitive papers before agreeing a suitable method.
