What The Minecraft Movie Can Teach Us About Inheritance Planning

At SLS Wills and More, we believe important lessons about life, and indeed, inheritance, can come from the most unexpected places, even blockbuster movies! One upcoming film that offers surprising insights into legacy and planning is The Minecraft Movie, based on the world-renowned video game that has captured imaginations for over a decade. While The Minecraft Movie promises action, adventure, and creativity, it also reflects deeper themes about building, protecting, and passing on what we create, much like the real-world importance of having a well-prepared will and estate plan. Building Your Legacy, Block by Block In Minecraft, players spend countless hours constructing intricate worlds, full of castles, cities, farms, and more. Every structure is the result of careful planning and effort. It’s a powerful metaphor for life itself: over time, we build up assets, relationships, and achievements that form our personal “kingdom.” Without a proper will, however, everything you’ve built could be left vulnerable, much like a Minecraft world left open to the chaos of “creepers” and storms. A clear, legally binding will ensures that your hard work benefits those you love most, exactly as you intend. Protecting Against Unexpected Challenges In the Minecraft universe, dangers often appear when least expected, a fitting reminder of why having up-to-date estate planning documents is essential. Life is unpredictable. Without a Lasting Power of Attorney, for example, there may be no one legally authorised to make critical decisions for you if you lose mental capacity. At SLS Wills and More, we help you “fortify your world,” making sure you have the right protections in place no matter what comes your way. Passing On More Than Possessions The Minecraft Movie celebrates imagination, creativity, and collaboration. Similarly, inheritance planning isn’t just about passing on property or wealth; it’s about transferring values, memories, and opportunities to the next generation. Including charitable gifts in your will, for instance, can make a lasting positive impact, something we actively encourage at SLS Wills and More. We donate 5% of our profits to good causes like Hypo Hounds and Community Driving School CIC, and we offer additional contributions when clients leave legacies to these organisations. Don’t Leave Your Legacy to Chance Much like crafting a masterpiece in Minecraft, planning your estate takes time, thought, and expert guidance. At SLS Wills and More, we are here to help you design a plan that’s as unique and resilient as anything seen on the big screen, or built block-by-block in a Minecraft world.

Abuse against elderley

The Hidden Cost of Abuse: Why Estate Planning Plays a Vital Role in Safeguarding Older People

£16.6 billion a year. That’s the shocking cost of abuse against older people in the UK. A landmark study from safer ageing charity Hourglass, released during Safer Ageing Week 2024, has brought to light the devastating economic and emotional toll that elder abuse takes on individuals, families, and society at large. At SLS Wills and More, we believe this is not just a social issue, it’s an estate planning issue too. And one that demands immediate attention from individuals, professionals, and policymakers alike. A National Crisis With a Personal Impact Hourglass’s report, The Economics of Abuse, reveals a bleak picture: These statistics are deeply troubling. But behind them are real people – parents, grandparents, neighbours – often suffering in silence. And while the financial cost is staggering, the emotional toll is incalculable. How Estate Planning Can Offer Protection While no legal document can prevent abuse on its own, robust estate planning is one of the most effective tools available for protecting older people from financial manipulation and harm. Here’s how: ✅ Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) A properly drafted LPA allows you to choose someone you trust to manage your financial and health decisions if you become unable to do so yourself. It can: At SLS Wills and More, we take extra care to guide clients through the process with empathy and clarity – always ensuring they fully understand who they are appointing and why. ✅ Carefully Structured Wills and Trusts Wills and trusts aren’t just about who inherits your estate – they’re about how they do. For example: ✅ Independent Document Storage At SLS Wills and More, we store wills and other key documents free of charge, securely and independently. This ensures they are not lost, altered, or destroyed by individuals seeking to manipulate an estate. We also maintain a clear, client-focused policy for access to stored documents, protecting your wishes at every stage of life. What You Can Do Now The abuse of older people is not inevitable. With the right plans in place, it can be prevented. Here’s how we can help: Support and Social Responsibility At SLS Wills and More, we take our role in safeguarding clients seriously, and not just through legal documents. We are proud to donate 5% of our profits to community causes including Hypo Hounds, Wildwood Trust, and Community Driving School CIC, and we advocate for stronger protections for vulnerable adults. We believe that planning for later life is about peace of mind, not just for you, but for those you leave behind. 📞 Call us on 01304 577998📧 Email hello@slswillsandmore.co.uk🌐 Visit www.slswillsandmore.co.uk
