**The coming new year** is a really good time to re-evaluate those important issues that whilst we may all need them, nobody likes to face up to.

**Is your will up to date?** For a start, if you have a Will, congratulations. About two-thirds of the country do not! However, even if you have a Will, is it up to date for your current circumstances?

Now could not be a better time to dust off your Will and give everything a once over to ensure it does meet your requirements.

**What about a Power of Attorney?** Have you set up someone to have access to your finances, or to take medical decisions for you, in the event that something unexpected happens and you are no longer able to make such decisions for yourself?
