Letter of wishes

At Napthens we’re finding it increasingly common to include a letter of wishes with a will.

While it is not a legally binding document, a letter of wishes can provide clear guidance to the executors and trustees as they distribute property, money and possessions.

A letter of wishes can also be used alongside a lasting power of attorney (LPA) to provide guidance in health and welfare matters.

How Napthens can help

As specialists in complex personal and financial situations, the team at Napthens are experienced in writing the letter of wishes in a manner that will safeguard against any challenges from others in the future.

Once drafted, we’ll advise on where and how the letter of wishes is kept – usually alongside the will in a safe place that the executor is aware of.
