Wills & Probate

WILLS

Planning for what happens in the event of death is never an easy thing to talk about. However careful preparation for end of life shouldn’t be overlooked and can provide much needed peace of mind that your wishes will be respected once you are gone.
Writing a Will is something most of us won’t consider until later in life.

A professionally drafted Will is however, one of the most important documents that an individual can have. A Will clarifies what happens to your assets after you die – who gets what, when they get it and can include details of how assets are managed.

Access to DIY Wills both online and via large high street newsagents provide a tempting option, however the devil is in the detail when drafting these documents and a lack of care can often lead to unnecessary problems.

From a basic Will which will suit most of our clients, through to complex Wills including all possible considerations – we have the expertise to help.

We are quick to respond and to prepare documentation, but we won’t rush you into making a decision; we are good at listening and deal promptly with concerns and queries. Our efficient but personal approach means that your experience with us will be a positive one.

PROBATE

When you lose someone close to you, it is a difficult time and dealing with the paperwork to apply for probate can seem daunting. We can help and guide you through the process of administering an estate including attending to any legal requirements.

We are here to:-

• help administer any size of estate, from the simple to the very complex;
• handle all the administration, or just part if you want to do some of the work yourself;
• complete and submit the probate and inheritance tax return to cover the legal requirements and ensure the correct tax is paid;
• help you if your loved one dies without a will

We are highly experienced and know that no two estates are the same. Once we have spoken to you and understand the work required, we can advise you on the type of service that may best suit you and provide a detailed plan of the work to be undertaken and provide a fee estimate in advance.

As we advise on probate and estate administration matters all day, every day, we encounter very few situations that we have not seen before, and we can act quickly to ensure the estate progresses without delay.
