DeVere said a recent survey it conducted of expatriates and international investors revealed that more than 50% did not have a will, while 70% were not familiar with the different types of wills available.
What is more, of those who had wills, only slightly more than half of those surveyed, or 57%, had initially been advised by a wills specialist, deVere said. And one in five of those surveyed reported that they had “got married, divorced or had children since they first took out a will” — all of which might be reasons to consider making changes to a will drawn up previously.
In a statement announcing the deal with deVere, Flint Bishop managing partner Ken Dixon said British expats also needed to be aware of how the laws in the country in which they are currently living could affect the way their assets might be distributed if they were to die.
“This is just one of a number of reasons why people should have a will,” he added.
The deVere website now has a page devoted to wills, which mentions Flint Bishop and details its services.
