Probate
Planning for the future is very important, the subject of death is something we all do our best to try and avoid, but the truth is that of the 2700 people that die every day in the UK 2000 of them did not make a Will. Making a Will creates certainty, reduces worry and gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly how your money, property and possessions will be distributed after your death.
Making a Will is usually the first step to take in structuring your financial and property affairs. It can also be used as a vehicle for long term care planning.
We carry out the administration of estates on behalf of both Executors where the deceased made a Will or Administrators where no Will has been made.
We set out below some of the areas of law upon which we advise:
- Preparation of Wills
