Keeping your Will up to date is also crucial to make sure your wishes are met. Our Wills,Trusts,Tax and Probate team has a proud history of helping clients and subsequent generations of their families manage their personal affairs, draft their Wills and administer their Estates. Our solicitors work solely in this area of law so our clients can be assured of clear, practical and sensitive advice, combined with the most advanced legal knowledge in this complex field of law. When making a Will your legal adviser will have to check mental capacity, sometimes know to the layman as ‘being of sound mind and body’ or in legal terms establishing testamentary capacity. We offer specialist services including: Wills and Trusts – creation and management Lasting Powers of Attorney Probate, including administration of Estates and Will disputes Inheritance Tax Advice and Estate Planning Court of Protection Business Wills Will writing is often a sensitive area, people often put off making their Wills when instead it should be considered prudent planning ahead. Almost 70% of people do not have a Will, or have not reviewed it due to changing family circumstances for example divorce, the birth of children or grandchildren or changing circumstances and this can have an affect on your estate. Clients do not always realise that a surviving spouse will not necessarily inherit everything, an unmarried partner has no automatic entitlement, the family home may have to be sold, or your children may be unintentionally disinherited. As legal professionals we would also encourage younger people to consider making a Will and with an increasingly elderly population the need for a Lasting Power of Attorney is becoming more and more necessary.
