Wills

A Will is a very personal document which records your wishes for your property and possessions following your death. We understand that it can be difficult to make decisions about what we all hope is an event far off in the future. Our Will-writing service is designed to make the whole process simple and affordable and to give you peace of mind. We offer a step-by-step service which explains everything clearly and constructively and we will guide you through the whole process as painlessly as possible.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

These legal documents allow you to choose someone to represent you and act for you in financial matters or in health and welfare matters whilst you are alive should you no longer wish to, or should you become incapable of dealing with these matters for yourself. We will listen to your concerns and help you complete the formalities involved including registration at the Office of the Public Guardian if required.  A Lasting Power of Attorney must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used.

Probate

Probate is a term used to describe the obtaining of an official Court Order giving the executor or administrator legal authority to deal with the financial and property matters of a deceased person.  Estate administration is the process of collecting the deceased’s assets, paying liabilities and tax, and distributing the estate to the beneficiaries of the estate.

The responsibility of dealing with Probate and estate administration can be very difficult, especially during a time of bereavement.  After many years of specialisation, we can support you throughout the process of winding up the estate of a deceased friend or relative.
