Spear's Design for Living Awards 2012
The second Spear’s Design for Living Awards, will be held in May at a glamorous Central London venue.
Design can and should be applied to all and any aspects of a life well-lived and the wide range of categories in the Spear’s Design for Living Awards reflect this. We go from the great to the small, we look at the extraordinary and the everyday, we examine the wonderful extra and the absolutely necessary.
Our only criterion is that a Spear’s Design for Living Award must go to people, places or things that through their sheer excellence make our life that much more worth living. Spear’s Design for Living Awards will marry the contemporary with the classic; it will bring together the most influential figures, iconic brands and arbiters of style in a celebration of innovative pedigree and stylish living.
Categories this year include: Hide and Chic (leather goods); Sticks and Stones (furniture); Time Flies (watches); Heart and Hearth (luxury property); Taking the Waters (spas); Hot Wheels (cars); The Coco (couture).
2011 winners included: Time Flies - Vacheron Constantin; Contemporary Jeweller - Stephen Webster; Spirit of Desire - William Yeoward; Great Interiors - Nicky Haslam; Palate Pleaser - Ian Hart, Sacred Gin; The Golden Dish - Brett Graham, The Ledbury; The Hippogriff - Masterpiece London

Q
Sadly my son passed away a couple of years ago leaving two teenage children, and while we have a very good relationship with our daughter-in-law she has indicated she doesn’t want to remain a widow as she is only in her early 40’s. What is the best way to structure what would have been our son’s inheritance to ensure it goes to our grandchildren without alienating their mother?
A
Although statistically unlikely, it is sadly the case that some children die before their parents and most well-written wills provide for that contingency. Although testators sometimes wish to make provision for the spouse of a deceased child, it is usual for the will to include a term that if a child predeceases the testator, his or her children will step into their parent’s shoes.
