When a loved one receives a dementia diagnosis, it is natural to feel overwhelmed with questions such as what happens next? How can we plan for the future? At Everycare, we believe in helping families through every step of that journey with guidance, support and reassurance. That is why we want to highlight a valuable free resource from Dementia UK. A service designed to help you plan ahead with confidence and peace of mind.
What is Dementia UK free service?
The Dementia UK Free Will service is a service that offers individuals the opportunity to write or update their Will for free either online or in person. They have partnered with various Will writing providers and solicitors in hopes to provide peace of mind by ensuring that assets are passed on to the people you care about most with no obligation to donate to Dementia UK.
How does this support families & carers?
Dementia UK free will service helps many families we support at Everycare. Some key benefits include:
- Reduced costs and stress. Will writing can feel expensive and intimidating. Dementia UK has removed this barrier making it easy.
- Sense of relief. You will be certain that your assets are left the way you want them to be, and you can focus on the present rather than worrying about what will happen when you pass.
- Supports your loved ones. Planning ahead is important when Dementia is diagnosed. Having your will sorted while capacity is clear is a wise thing to do.
Why is a will important?
A Will is one of the most important documents you can create and is crucial to ensure your wishes are honoured after you pass away. It provides clarity and peace of mind, setting out exactly how you would like your assets to be distributed and who should handle your affairs.
Without a Will, your possessions are divided according to the Intestacy law, which means the government decides how your assets are shared. This may not reflect your personal wishes and can sometimes lead to confusion or disagreements amongst family members.
By having your Will in place, you can:
- Clearly outline how your property, savings and personal items should be shared.
- Name guardians for an children or dependents.
- Reduce the risk of family disputes or uncertainty during an emotional time.
- Ensure your legacy is handled exactly as you wish.
As a result, your mind will be rest assured knowing that everything is organised and your loved ones are cared for in the way you choose.
