⚽ 2026 World Cup Travel: A Timely Reminder to Review Your Will
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to take place across the USA, Canada and Mexico, thousands of UK fans will be travelling abroad for what promises to be an unforgettable tournament.
While most people are focused on flights, fixtures, and accommodation, it’s also worth taking a moment to consider something far less exciting but far more important: your will and estate planning.
International travel naturally increases awareness of the unexpected.
If the worst were to happen while abroad, dealing with estates can quickly become complex, particularly where there are cross-border issues involved.
Without a valid will:
- Your estate may be distributed under intestacy rules
- Unmarried partners may not be protected
- Family members could face delays and added stress
For those with assets, property, or family responsibilities in the UK, ensuring your will is up to date is essential before travelling.
A few simple steps can make a significant difference:
- Make or update your will
- Check your executors are up to date
- Review beneficiary nominations (insurance, pensions)
- Consider Lasting Powers of Attorney
Major global events like the World Cup are a good reminder that estate planning isn’t just for later life, it’s about certainty, clarity, and protecting the people who matter most.
