Don t leave your loved ones with extra expenses and hassle.
People who die without a valid will, or intestate, leave costs and complications to their family and often gift thousands of £’s to the State in what may be avoidable Inheritance Tax (IHT).
The Law Society says that anyone with possessions and family or friends should make a will, disregarding of their age. It is specially important if you are not married to your partner, because the law does not give partners the same automatic rights of inheritance as spouses.
Assets which are jointly owned by unmarried partners on a joint tenancy basis would still go to automatically to the living spouse under the rules of survivorship. Under the current intestacy rules, an unmarried partner has no rights to assets or property that were not jointly owned (although the Law Commission has recently suggested to change this).
Doing a will is also vital if you have minors, as you can nominate guardians to look after them.
It is vital to create a list of assets and debts and their approximate values. Include your properties, investment, savings, insurance policies and pensions.
In addition, consider making individual legacies. Simply telling a family member that an item will be his or hers one day could cause difficulty later.
You should receive professional advice on IHT planning as part of writing your will. Easy steps could save the beneficiaries of more well-to-do homeowners thousands of £’s in taxation.
An important element of affecting a will is the appointment of executors to ensure that your will wishes are executed.
You should also review your will every few years or so and whenever your situation are altered by a important life event, such as wedding, divorce or a birth or death in the immediate family. Another instance would be after a house buy or move.
Whoever makes up your will, make sure one copy is kept secure or deposit 1 with a probate registry.

Many men struggle every year with the tormenting question of what to buy their sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. In an effort to simplify this daunting task, and being in the gift giving industry myself, I thought I’d share some of my expertise and knowledge with the layman. Although I cannot speak for all women, I can certainly give some absolutely wonderful advice and great gift ideas.
First and foremost, I must confess that I am not a relationship expert. This article is being written from my own profound wants and desires for the perfect Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately for men, not all women are alike, and therefore, all do not want and desire the same things. This article will focus on a few great Valentine’s Day ideas that I believe would satisfy the majority of normal women.
My initial thought regarding Valentine’s Day is that it is an event to be remembered. For this reason, I love the idea of creating a special day for your loved one. As the mother of two young children, I would love nothing more than a nice relaxing day at a luxurious spa. Can’t afford to send your loved one on a spa holiday? Find yourself a gift basket filled with sensational bath products, enabling you to bring the spa home, at a much more affordable price. Most women will greatly appreciate the much needed relaxing time alone.
Another way to make the event memorable is to have a Valentine’s Day picnic. Weather permitting, a picnic can be a tremendously romantic afternoon. A picnic basket with service for two would be the place to start. Then add some gourmet treats, specialty foods, and a chilled bottle of wine. If the weather is inclement, as it still is in many parts of the country, take the picnic inside. Spread out a nice picnic blanket, put on some soft music, light some candles and picnic inside for a charming dinner meal. Quiet time together is the key for this gift idea.
Not interested in sitting on the floor? Create a gourmet meal for two and serve it up at the dinner table. I know very few women who really want to cook a three course meal on Valentine’s Day. Find a great recipe book or try a gourmet gift basket filled with all the dinner necessities, including the mood-setting candles. Can’t cook? Order out and set it all up for your loved one as a surprise. Don’t forget cleanup duty. Do it after dinner or even the next day, but don’t let her lift a finger. Believe me, she will love a break from kitchen duties for a night.
Of course, there’s always the classic gift of flowers, candy and even jewelry. But I’ve always felt that these are just “things” and are soon forgotten after the special day. Flowers die, candy gets eaten, and jewelry gets dusty in a jewelry box. Make Valentine’s Day what it really is…a day to celebrate love with the love of your life. Make it an event to be remembered by pampering your loved one. You only get an excuse to do it once per year.

Everyone wants to save money, especially during a recession. One of the easiest ways to lower your outgoings is to find an energy supplier that offers lower electricity prices than your current provider.
And doing this needn’t be a chore. While you can contact all the individual energy suppliers near you and ask them for their electricity prices, this will of course involve a lot of time and effort.
A simpler way to do things is to use a price comparison site. They will show you the electricity prices from different suppliers, so you can pick the one that offers the most savings.
Using a price comparison site is straightforward. All you need to do is enter a few details about your location, your current electricity bills, pricing plan and the payment method you prefer.
Within a few moments you will be presented with a league table, listing all the energy providers that operate in your area. This table will also display how their electricity prices are in comparison to your current bill.
You can be sure that price comparison sites offer unbiased results - and some offer electricity prices lower than you can get even going direct to the suppliers.
To cut costs even more, you should also ensure you opt for the lowest cost method of payment. For example, if you manage your account online or if you pay by Direct Debit, you could see your electricity bill reduced by up to 10 per cent.
Comparing gas and electricity prices takes just a few simple steps when you go to a price comparison site. You can save money on your monthly gas and electricity prices.
