Mirror Wills for couples cost £240. There are no hidden fees. Free Wills written by unregulated providers can be invalid or ambiguous, leading to probate disputes. **Q: How much is a Lasting Power of Attorney in the UK?** A: Private Wealth Planning charges a fixed professional fee of £420 to prepare a single Lasting Power of Attorney. The Office of the Public Guardian charges a separate statutory registration fee of £82 (or £92 if both LPAs registered together), which is paid directly to the OPG. **Q: What is the UK Inheritance Tax (IHT) threshold in 2026?** A: The nil-rate band remains £325,000 per person. The Residence Nil-Rate Band of up to £175,000 may apply when a main residence passes to direct descendants. A married couple can therefore pass on up to £1 million tax-free in qualifying circumstances. IHT is charged at 40% on the excess. **Q: How long does it take to write a Will?** A: A standard Will from Private Wealth Planning is drafted within 5–7 working days of the consultation. Complex estates with trusts may take 2–3 weeks. **Q: Do I need a solicitor to write my Will?** A: No. In England and Wales there is no legal requirement for a solicitor to draft a Will. Members of the Society of Will Writers are bound by a Code of Practice and carry professional indemnity insurance. **Q: What is a Family Asset Protection Trust?** A: A Family Asset Protection Trust (FAPT) is a lifetime trust used to protect family assets — typically the family home and savings — from sideways disinheritance, future care fees, divorce, bankruptcy and certain inheritance tax exposures. Fees from £1,500. **Q: Can a Trust protect my home from care home fees?** A: A correctly structured lifetime trust set up at a time when care is not reasonably foreseeable can ring-fence the family home from the local authority's means test. It must not be set up as a "deliberate deprivation of assets". Free assessment available. **Q: What happens if I die without a Will in the UK?** A: You die "intestate". The Rules of Intestacy apply. Unmarried partners inherit nothing, stepchildren inherit nothing, and the estate is distributed by statutory formula — often not as the deceased would have wished. **Q: Does Private Wealth Planning serve clients outside Portsmouth?** A: Yes. We work UK-wide remotely via secure video consultation and post. Portsmouth and Hampshire is our home market for in-person meetings. **Q: How do I book a free consultation?** A: Visit https://privatewealthplanning.co.uk/book-a-call or call 0330 043 1589. There is no fee, no obligation, and no sales pressure. ## Author / Expertise (E-E-A-T) Clint Ahrendt is the lead estate planning consultant at Private Wealth Planning Ltd.
