Why make a will?

If you die without a will, the law and not you or your relatives, will decide how to divide up your property. For example, your husband or wife may not inherit everything you wish or a distant relative may take precedence over a lifetime friend or charity of your choice.

Making a will is a simple process for most people. It will give you a peace of mind knowing that your family will not be troubled by the complexity or expenses if you die intestate (without a will).

Our team of experienced and qualified solicitors offer the following services:

• Making of Wills and general advice
• Inheritance Tax Planning and overview of Income and Capital Gains Tax issues
• Administration of Estates
• Lifetime Giving
• Property Trusts for Unmarried couples (including same gender partners)
• Protection of Elderly Client assets
• Court of Protection matters
• Home and Hospital Visits can be arranged

The expertise within the firm will enable advice to be given on all aspects of asset management, during lifetime and on death, taking into account matters such as potential problems caused by mental impairment, responsibility for young children, persons with learning difficulties and second marriages. We can, in some circumstances, and with consent of all concerned, vary dispositions made by a Will or under the intestacy rules.
