Not everyone is comfortable discussing what happens when you die; however, there are a lot of benefits to writing a will. At Adroit, we work closely with Pure Gym employees to understand exactly how you would like your assets to be distributed in the event of death. Our will writing experts will incorporate such wishes into a Will.
Our Wills and estate planning consultants also work across the length and breadth of the country, meaning we can provide a local, personal service, in the comfort of your own home.
A Will only needs to nominate Executors and distribute your estate to be a legal valid Will. For a couple, each person makes their own individual Will.
A simple Will is for very basic circumstances only and allows you to name your Executor(s), the persons with legal authority to make sure that the terms of your Will are carried out and state who the beneficiaries of your Will are and what they are receiving. It will also allow you to name a guardian to take care of your minor children, if you pass away before they are 18 years old.
Mirror Wills are two separate legal documents created on behalf of a couple who are married, in civil partnership or unmarried/partners. They are virtually identical in content and structure, and “mirror” each other. Usually, both members of the couple leaves their estate to the other in the event of their passing away first and then down to their ultimate chosen beneficiaries. Mirror Wills can be Simple Wills or Estate Planning Wills where your will is used as a financial planning tool to avoid risk and to maximise beneficiaries’ inheritance.
A Will should name at least one executor to carry out the instructions contained in the Will. If the Will leaves everything to one person, i.e. a single beneficiary, it is helpful to make this person the executor. An executor is often called a trustee as they are responsible for the safekeeping of everything in the estate (all that the person who died has left) until all the instructions of the Will are legally completed. Having more than one executor can help share the responsibility of a large or complex estate.
Executors do not have to do all the work themselves as they can appoint professionals such as solicitors to act on their behalf and the legal fees are paid from the estate. We advise appointing non-professional executors as there can be hidden costs if a professional such as a solicitor is appointed as an executor. Adroit advisors will help with decisions about this without any pressure to purchase an unwanted service.
Some things we do hoping it will never be necessary for it to be acted on, rather like taking out an insurance policy. It’s a ‘just in case’ action.
If you have children under the age of 18, it is wise to use your will to appoint a Guardian for them (or possibly two). This should be someone you trust completely to take full responsibility for the care of your children if you should die before they reach adulthood and there is no one else who already shares parental responsibility with you.
Unless you do this, social services will become involved in the care of your children and they may even be taken into care, at least temporarily. The family court will make the final decision about who cares for your children, and this may not be the person you would have chosen, especially if you choose someone who is not related to you.
A Will is often used to specify whether someone prefers to be buried or cremated or have their body repatriated abroad. This instruction is not legally binding if the estate does not contain enough money to carry out these instructions.
A funeral plan, where a funeral is paid for in advance can only be purchased through a regulated funeral services provider or funeral director.
Anyone wishing to donate their body to science must complete the specific consent form issued by the nearest hospital/medical school that can use the body. See the website of the Human Tissue Authority for the nearest medical school. Certain circumstances, such as a referral to the coroner may prevent this from taking place and a burial or cremation must be arranged instead.
A Will makes sure that your estate benefits those you care about, but over half of UK adults don’t have one.
What happens if you die without a Will, and would your family still be cared for?
Dying ‘Intestate’ means that you die without having made a Will. Your estate is distributed according to laws of intestacy contained in the Inheritance and Trustees’ Power Act 2014.
Intestacy only allows for ‘family tree’ connections and does not consider how close you may (or may not) be to people, what your wishes might have been had you made a Will, or who may be in the most need of a distribution from your estate.
If you have dependents who are not direct relatives, they may not inherit under intestacy rules. It is important that you make a Will to provide for those you wish to care for in the event of your death.
If you’re unmarried but you live with your partner and your children, your partner will not receive any part of your estate if you die intestate.
Similarly, if you want step-children or foster children to receive any part of your estate, you will need to write a Will as they do not inherit under intestacy rules.
If you’ve married or entered into a civil partnership since you made a Will, your Will is invalid.
Your estate will therefore be distributed in line with the intestacy rules, which risks leaving others you care about – for example, other dependents, carers or step-children – cut off from your estate.
If your Will has been invalidated by your marriage, it’s crucial that you make a new Will that accurately reflects your change in circumstances.

We never know what’s around the corner. If something happens to you or someone close – perhaps you become unwell, you have an accident or a condition that means that you can’t look after your affairs – are you prepared?
Lasting Power of Attorney (“Power of Attorney” in Scotland) offers vital reassurance, allowing you to choose someone you trust to act on your behalf if you’re unable to make decisions yourself.
There are two types of LPA:
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
This LPA allows your attorney(s) to act on your behalf in dealing with financial affairs such as paying bills and dealing with your bank, buying and selling property, paying your mortgage and investing money for you.
Health & Welfare LPA
The “health and welfare” LPA can only be used by your attorney(s) if you have lost mental capacity, and covers decisions such as where you will live, the medical care you should receive, and welfare matters such as decisions about the people you should see your washing and dressing needs and your diet.
For estate planning products such as Lasting Power of Attorney, Trusts, and Court of Protection work, prices start at £382 (which includes a registration fee of £82 payable to the Office of the Public Guardian)
‘Probate’ is the word used to describe the legal process of dealing with everything left behind after someone has died. This includes their money (including debts), any property they own and personal belongings.
Depending on whether there is a property and its value and the amount in the bank and other accounts where money is held, a formal legal process may be required. This is called a ‘Grant of Probate’ if there is a Will, and a Grant of Letters of Administration if there is no Will. Adroit’s advisors will help identify if the formal legal process is needed and whether this is something that can be dealt with by the executor (of a Will) or the administrator of the estate (no Will).
Adroit’s estate administration experts guide you through the probate process, either completing the application for you or offering step-by-step guidance as you handle the application yourself.
Our panel of specialists also advises on more complex probate matters, including estates where there may be a dispute.
Competitive fixed fee packages.
Where full administration is required, no money is requested up front for any subsequent probate work apart from the court fee of £273. Legal fees are deducted from the estate once Probate has been completed.
Probate is not always necessary when someone dies, but if it is required, it is referred to as the ‘Grant of Probate’ in England & Wales or ‘Confirmation’ in Scotland.
If you are considering applying for the Grant of Probate, the form to complete is called ‘PA1’ and it must be submitted to the Probate Registry.
Probate is called Confirmation in Scotland and may attract a higher fees. If you are considering applying for Confirmation, the form required is called ‘C1/C5’ and it must be submitted to the relevant Sheriff’s Court in Scotland.

When someone close to us dies, it is normal to be distressed, grieve for them and find life difficult, often for much longer than we expected.
Even if we didn’t know the person well, or had a difficult relationship with them, death can provoke strong and mixed emotions.
Sometimes we also find ourselves having to take responsibility for all the practical tasks that need to be done after someone dies, such as registering the death or dealing with the coroner/procurator fiscal, arranging the funeral and administering the estate, i.e. everything that someone has left in terms of property, money and possessions.
The National Bereavement Service is here to answer all your questions about what has to be done and where. From thinking about what you need to put in place to make your own death easier for your family, right through to when beneficiaries of an estate receive what has been gifted to them, we have the expertise to support you and, working with Adroit, find you the legal help you may need at a competitive price.
We can also help you understand the often strong and painful emotions of grief and find the right organisation to support you through.
