WILLS
Having a Will ensures that the people you choose benefit from your estate and makes it easier for your affairs to be dealt with after your death.
If you do not leave a Will, your affairs will be dealt with under the Rules of Intestacy which can result in your assets being passed to beneficiaries
who you would not necessarily choose to leave anything to, a Husband and Wife do not automatically receive everything from each other.
We offer all our clients a “face to face” meeting where you will be able to discuss your own personal situation
In your Will you can:
Choose your Executors
Nominate Guardians for your young children
Safeguard a Minor or disabled beneficiary
Include Trusts to benefit particular individuals or preserve property or assets
Decide who benefits from you
Minimize any Inheritance Tax
Safeguard your estate from care home fees
We offer fixed fees for straight forward Wills, please contact us for further information and to discuss estimates if more complicated Wills are required for family or tax reasons
PROBATE
This is the procedure when the Executors or Administrators of an estate need to apply for a Grant of Representation.
We can help and guide you through the necessary paper work, including the tax return which is now necessary to file on death.
We deal with both small and more complicated estates offering a sympathetic, efficient and friendly service to clients in all
aspects of post death matters including:
Estate Administration
Intestacies
Finding beneficiaries
Guidance on contested Wills
Advice on mitigating Inheritance Tax
Paying Inheritance Tax
