Why make a Will?
- To ensure that your money and possessions pass to the people you wish
- To protect a partner who does not have the same legal rights as a spouse or civil partner
- To reduce or even avoid Inheritance Tax for those who are to benefit from your estate
- To reduce the possible liability for a surviving beneficiary who may need to pay for residential accommodation
- To protect the inheritance due to children from previous relationships or marriages
Whatever your circumstances, our friendly professional team is here to help you.
Probate and Estate Administration
You may need advice following the death of a relative or friend on how to go about managing their affairs. If there is a Will, you could be:
- Obtaining the Grant of Probate enabling you to distribute assets
- Cashing in or transferring money or investments
- Investing money on behalf of children
- Administering a trust set up by the Will
Alternatively, if there is no Will, you may need to know:
- Who is entitled to receive the deceased person’s money and possessions
- Who can (and how to) apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration, enabling the distribution of assets
- The best way to cash in or transfer assets or invest money on behalf of a minor
We can provide you with a sympathetic ear and the specialist knowledge to help you through such difficult times.
