Wills, Trusts & Estates

Planning for the future is very important especially for the time when you are no longer around to manage events. We know that everyone has different circumstances and that each estate has its own issues. This is why we take a personalised approach recognising the sensitivities that may involve addressing uncomfortable issues such as disability, mental capacity or complex and fragmented families. We will take you carefully through the process, supporting you along the way, so that you can be confident that your wishes are accurately captured.

Mental incapacity is a specific issue that while upsetting, requires arrangements to be put in place to guide decisions relating to the affected individual, their property and affairs, including finance and healthcare. In these circumstances, it will be important to create a lasting power of attorney. Power of attorney is a legal process where you grant another person or persons the power to make decisions on your behalf. This can include acting in your financial affairs, dealing with property and making decisions relating to your continuing health and care needs.

In addition, we attend to the administration of deceased estates and provide holistic services to cater for the ultimate transfer of benefits to beneficiaries as well as any consequent property transfers and the winding up of any interest that the deceased may have had in a business.

No matter your circumstances, you can be assured that we will provide a highly professional and discreet service and help you to make clear plans and balanced decisions.
