WILLS AND PROBATE

The result of failing to make a Will can be most unfortunate as the provisions made by general law may not meet your wishes or the requirements of your family and dependants. In addition, Wills give an unique opportunity for tax-planning.

An home-made Will may lead to even greater difficulties or disputes.

Probate and the Administration of Estates
The administration of a deceased person's estate can be both complex and time-consuming, particularly if liabilities to Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and Income Tax have to be sorted out.

We can carry out the legal work on behalf of the family; gather together the estate assets; settle outstanding debts, and finally, distribute the estate to the beneficiaries.

We can also advise how liability to tax can be mitigated.

All our staff who deal with Wills and Probate are fully qualified and members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
