Wills, Powers of Attorney, Trusts and Estates
We work closely with our clients to give legal advice and practical help in matters related to wills, trusts and executries, explaining things in a clear and accessible way.
Wills
To protect the interests of your family it is essential to draw up a will. By discussing your individual financial circumstances, commitments and requirements in detail, we can prepare a will that is tailored to meet your needs and ensures that your estate passes to those who you with to benefit.
Powers of Attorney
We advise all our clients to make Powers of Attorney — appointing a trusted relative or friend to deal with their financial affairs and property, and if desired to make decisions about their personal welfare, in the event of incapacity. If a Power of Attorney has not been granted, we can advise relatives and friends on obtaining a Guardianship or Intervention Order.
Trusts
We can advise on setting up a trust during your lifetime or after your death, and can handle the administration.
Estates
After a death it is important that the estate is administered with sympathy and efficiency. At what is likely to be a difficult time for you and your family, we can offer professional support, advice and help in finalising the estate.
Inheritance Tax Planning
We can help save you and your family a substantial amount of money by advising on ways to minimise Inheritance Tax and look after your family’s wealth.
In all of these areas we encourage clients to plan for the future, to ensure that their wishes are carried out by those they trust, thereby providing peace of mind and saving potentially considerable sums of money.
