Our Wills and trusts solicitors can provide legal advice and expertise, guiding you through all aspects of making a Will, inheritance tax planning and estate planning. Putting your wishes and best interests first at all times is of utmost importance to our team.
We have put together an Estate Planning Checklist to help you plan for the future.
By making a Will, you can provide for a partner or spouse and eliminate the problems that can arise when no Will is left. It also allows you to choose how your property and possessions are dealt with in the event of your death and who you would like to execute your estate.
A Will also enables you to create a financial framework for your children that will ensure they are looked after until they are old enough to do this for themselves, as well as give direction as to who will look after them. There are other financial related benefits of making a Will such as charitable donations and tax liabilities that our expert team can help you plan for.
Without a Will the way is left open for issues such as family disputes, tax liabilities may be greater and your estate may not be divided in the way you had wished.
We recognise that these can be difficult and emotional experiences but we will help to ensure that you obtain the best legal advice in which to financially safeguard your future.
