Everyone should have a Will – for your peace of mind and those of your loved ones, and to ensure that your affairs and wishes are settled exactly how you would want them to be. We can draft your Will and store this safely and securely at no extra cost. We can also advise on drafting Powers of Attorney.

Making a Will

Failing to make a Will results in your Estate being administered according to the Rules of Intestacy.  This may mean your loved ones will not benefit correctly or to the extent that you had intended.  A Will allows you to clearly state who you wish to benefit and to what extent.  

If you are thinking of making a Will come and see us first.

 Enduring Powers of Attorney

Are you concerned about you or your loved one losing mental capacity?  Do you fear not having access to funds should memory loss occur?  Allow us to assist with the preparation of an Enduring Power of Attorney.  This allows you to decide who will have control of your accounts should the worst happen.  It allows you to set the terms and limit the powers your attorney may have to use your funds.  Furthermore it saves the unnecessary time and expense of a Court application should mental capacity be lost in the absence of an enduring power of attorney. 

With dementia and Alzheimer’s becoming more and more common do not leave it to your loved ones to decide how your finances should be handled.  Put the control back into your own hands.

We have significant experience in this area so please do not hesitate to contact us for further details or to arrange a consultation.

Administration of Estates

Dealing with the affairs of a loved one who has passed away can be one of the most difficult life experiences anyone will go through.  Allow us to handle this in a professional manner on your behalf, enabling you the time to grieve for your loved one. 

We can assist and provide advice on all aspects relating to the administration of an Estate to include dealing with Inheritance Tax, contacting the relevant financial institutes, drafting the necessary paperwork to make the Court application and the transfer of any property which may be part of the estate.  We will ensure the estate is administered in a timely manner and that all the beneficiaries of the estate receive what they are due.
