Wills and Probate

An elderly woman discusses her will with a young woman solicitor

Why make a Will?

A Will is an extremely important document that details exactly how you wish your estate to be distributed on your death and who you wish to deal with matters for you as your executors. Executors can be members of your family, friends or your Solicitor.

A Will is also important, if you have children, so that you can appoint Guardians to look after them in the event of your death and also Trustees to look after their finances.

A well drafted Will can also incorporate tax planning, with the potential to save you a considerable amount of money.

The absence of a Will can result in confusion and arguments, as well as additional work for your loved ones at a difficult time.

Probate & Administration of Estates

We have a team of highly experienced solicitors who aim to provide you with sympathetic and efficient service and guidance at a difficult time.

Carrying a Will into effect is best done with skill and experience. We can help gather in all the assets of the estate, settle any liabilities, deal with issues such as tax and accounting which usually arise and distribute the estate to the beneficiaries.

If there is no Will at all, we can help the next of kin apply for authority to deal with the estate and provide advice about the rules of intestacy.
