Why Add a Property Protection Trust to Your Will?

A Property Protection Trust is a powerful way to help safeguard your share of the family home when you pass away. It’s written into your Will and helps ensure that your loved ones, especially your children aren’t unintentionally disinherited or left with less than you intended.

Including a Property Protection Trust in your Will can help:

• Increased protection for Your Share of the Home – It ring-fences your share, so it’s not lost if your surviving partner remarries or goes into care.
• Keeps Your Wishes on Track – Ensures your children or chosen beneficiaries eventually inherit your share of the property.
• Peace of Mind for Couples – The surviving partner can still live in the home for life, with full security.
• Reduces Risk from Future Circumstances – Helps guard against unexpected situations like care fees or financial hardship.
• Flexibility – Trusts can be tailored to suit blended families, vulnerable beneficiaries, or changing needs.
• Smoother Administration – With the right structure, it can ease the probate process and help avoid disputes.
• A Sense of Legacy – You’re actively protecting what you’ve worked hard for, and passing it on as intended.

It’s a thoughtful step that combines care, control, and long-term planning. Many people find that putting this kind of trust in place brings comfort, not just for them, but for the family members they’ll one day leave behind.
