@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow In a long term relationship, with baby. Donโt want to marry as not religious, too costly and just not interested in marriage but looking into Civil Partnership for the benefits. What are the pros and cons? Is it worth it?
A reminder Power of Attorney is arguably more important than a will, and more urgent.
Just had a call on @thismorning from an older lady asking about moving bills into her name from her husbands, who she's caring for as he has early stage dementia.
Yet she hadn't yet done Power of Attorney. This is by far the more urgent consideration. Get it done while someone has the capacity to sign it. Then if and when they lose their faculties, the transition so you can look after their finances (and health and welfare) for them is relatively easy.
If not, leave it too late, and the money may be locked away unless you got to the Court of Protection which is often and expensive and time consuming nightmare.
Better still get a PoA when young. I did mine before I was 40. It is in place, so that if I lose my faculties in the future at that point (not before) someone can take over.
@MartinSLewis A lady in front of me at a supermarket checkout didnโt have enough for her veg, I paid for them for her as she was going to put them back. Iโve also helped a mother lift her buggy over train bridge as every one was walking around her whilst she was struggling pulling it up steps

Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.
