Probate and estate administration
Administering the affairs of a deceased relative or friend can be
a complicated and painful process. We can help lift or share the
burden with you through our executorship service, advising on everything
from registration of death, applying for probate, winding up the
estate to distributing it to those beneficially entitled
Wills
Making a will is a task which most of us put off for as long as
possible - yet it is one of the simplest steps you can take to ensure
that your family are provided for on your death. A carefully drafted
will may also help to reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable
on your death. Making a will is straightforward - we can meet you
to discuss your wishes and advise you on how to achieve your objectives.
Livings wills
A living will (also known as an advance directive) enables you to
express your wishes regarding medical treatment should you become
incapable. Most commonly, they are used as a statement that a person
would not wish to receive treatment to sustain their life in certain
circumstances, but they can also be used to state that a person
would wish to have any treatment available which would keep them
alive whatever their quality of life.
Enduring powers of attorney
This simple document enables you to appoint the person of your choice
to look after your financial affairs. The appointment can either
come into effect immediately or if you wish only at such time as
you become mentally incapable of managing your affairs. We can provide
the forms to create or cancel a power and when necessary deal with
registration of the power in the event of incapacity |
