Wills
It
is important to make a Will to ensure that your wishes are
carried out on your death. If you do not make a Will there
are strict rules for determining who will inherit your estate.
We make each Will individually taking into consideration your
family, financial position, Inheritance Tax and, of course,
your wishes.
Living
Wills
In
this present day more emphasis is being placed on the right
to choose between being kept alive on a life support machine
and having the right to die. We can discuss and prepare for
you a Living Will which can be used as evidence of your wishes
in respect of medical care at a time when you may not be well
enough to communicate your wishes to your family or medical
attendants.
Probate
After
a death it is important to those who are left behind that
the estate is administered with sympathy as well as with efficiency.
We
will deal with the necessary legal formalities in the application
for Probate or Letters of Administration and assist and advise
you in the administration of the estate.
Trusts
In
some cases a trust may be created by the Will. In others,
it may be created during a person's lifetime. In either case
we can assist in the setting up and administration of the
trust.
Powers
of Attorney
Powers
of Attorney are normally made to enable relatives, friends
or professional advisers to administer the affairs
of elderly or infirm persons who, for whatever reason, are
unwilling or unable to manage their own affairs We can
prepare
the document on your behalf and help you with any procedural
steps which may need to be taken.
