Letter of Wishes
A confidential document, a letter of wishes is often drawn up alongside a will to provide a lot more specific detail over the future of your personal belongings and assets than your will.
A will outlines your intention with your assets, but a letter of wishes provides a tremendous level of satisfaction knowing that specific items will be left to specific individuals.
Items with sentimental and/or monetary value to you and your beneficiaries can cause arguments and duress amongst families at a time of grieving over who should have what. If you have provided a letter of your wishes then this takes any debate out of the equation as your intentions are clear to all to see.
We suggest clients consider their desires and list them clearly in a letter of wishes which can be stored with the original will. We work with clients, by providing a simple online form where this can all be documented in a formal manner.
If you have any questions around developing a letter of wishes then please contact our English speaking and qualified solicitors and Spanish abogados.
When making a will, it’s often a good time to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney document, which allows someone to manage your affairs if you are ever unable to do so.
