H ave yo u u p d a t e d yo u r w i l l l a t e ly ? Good! You have set up a will to safeguard your loved ones, but even after you’ve signed your name, life events and circumstances will continue to change around you. As a rule of thumb, many solicitors advise that wills should be reviewed and updated every three to five years to remain relevant. When should I update my will? There have been changes to family members and relationships Births, deaths, marriages and divorces should trigger a need to update a will. Always ensure that the correct people are named on your most current will and people whom you no longer want to include in your will are taken off. Updating your will is especially important if you are remarrying as your previous will is automatically invalidated. You’ve bought a home or business Buying a home or business adds to your asset
portfolio, which is included in your estate upon your death. Having a will in place that states how these assets are to be distributed can help with effective tax planning. There have been changes to tax laws From time to time, new tax and probate laws are brought in by governing bodies. It is good practice to check if any of these new laws affect your estate and management thereof. Additionally, if you move to a new country, certain laws can impact differently. For more information about creating a will or updating an existing will, please contact Julia Routen, Solicitor at Spratt Endicott Solicitors on 01295 204012 or email jrouten@se-law.co.uk.

Local author Chris Griffiths has just released his fourth autographical book on amazon.co.uk “ Local author Chris Griffiths has just released his fourth autographical book on amazon. co.uk. You wouldn’t think a person would have that much to write about, but Chris does. From a very early age he has travelled an unusual path, full of trauma, pain, adventure and laughter. With trademark honesty he looks at life from home and abroad , and asks many questions in his search for inner peace. His first book “ How Grim Was My Valley” is a shockingly true account of a life lived in extraordinary testing times in 1960’s and 70’s England. An upsetting and laugh out loud account of one boys story. The book is set in Weedon Bec,
16
Northamptonshire. His second book “The Furry Angel” is a book you will never forget and will have you laughing as well as brushing away the odd tear. It is a heart rending tale about sadness, hope and most of all love. A mentally broken man who is rescued by his beloved Golden Labrador Pippin. His third book “The Healing of The Wasichu” is set mainly in the deserts and mountains of South West America. It follows Chris as he walks a path, oblivious to the dangers, in search of inner peace. Something that had been missing for a very long time. Follow him as he discovers one state and the people within that majestic and beautiful part of the world. His fourth book “How Verde Was
Their Valley” cleverly links the previous books together. It shows the continuation of his life, after beating mental illness . It shows a resilience that many can understand. It shows a love and respect of his fellow man and nature. It also shows a very disturbed sense of humour. Join him as he makes friends with the Native American Yavapai Apache tribe. And read how he tries to make his little bit of the world a better place.”

Article written by Michelle Hiscutt As high summer kicks in most of us dream of hot days, warm nights, having barbecues with friends enjoying the Outdoor Room. If the weather obliges there’s a lot to be done to make sure your garden is an outdoor space to be proud of. Cut back the foliage on early flowering hardy geraniums, poppies and delphiniums. It stops the plant looking tatty, new foliage soon comes back and you should get another flower display later in the year. Keep the feeding any containers of flowering and fruiting plants (tomato feed, Miracle gro etc) to keep them going til autumn. Arrange some pots of herbs close to the Barbie

for easy picking of seasoning for food or sprigs of mint for the Pimms. If you want to enjoy the scent of flowers rather than charcoal then there are so many options this month. Lilies can have amazing heady scents. Use a garlic spray on the foliage to deter the pesky red beetles. Trachelospermum jasminoides or star jasmine (see pic) is an evergreen climber with white jasmine scented flowers. It likes a sunny sheltered spot and is very on trend for greening the verticals in the garden. For shadier spots try honeysuckle. The foliage is less well behaved than the star jasmine and its likely to want to exceed its space but for reliable flowering and scent it can’t be beaten. Sweet peas are a cottage garden style stalwart and need picking regularly to keep them
