    Wills & Trusts,
    Explained in
    Plain English.

    Free UK guides to Wills, trusts, probate and Inheritance Tax. Understand your options and protect your family.

Over half of UK adults do not have a Will.

That is more than 30 million people without a Will in the UK (Canada Life, 2024).

UK Inheritance Tax hit a record £7.5 billion in 2023–24.

Every year, families lose a significant share of their wealth to poorly planned estates (HMRC figures).

Your debts don't disappear when you die.

They’re paid from your estate before your loved ones inherit, which can leave far less for your family than you expect.
