It is vital to have an up-to-date will to ensure that your property and possessions are passed on to family and friends as you wish. Many people believe that the assets of someone who is married will simply pass to his or her spouse. This is not necessarily the case, unless the person’s will makes specific provision for it.  If you die without a will, your assets will be distributed according to the law and your wishes will not be fulfilled.

We understand there can be sensitive issues involved in making a will and our professionals are on hand to offer guidance and to help you to make the right decisions for you and your family.  With our background in both law and accountancy, we have a range of special wills that are designed to save inheritance tax and preserve assets for future generations to enjoy.

We specialise in drafting wills for clients where one of the following circumstances applies:

·          Minimising inheritance tax is a priority
·          A family trust is needed for children or a spouse / partner
·          Business property is involved, e.g. sole trader, partnership or company
·          The wills of a couple are not to be changed by the survivor
·          A beneficiary is incapacitated and a special trust is required
·          The interests of children and step children need to be protected
·          Part of the estate is located in a foreign country
·          There are gifts to charities.
·          Family assets need protecting from divorce claims.

We realise that it is not always convenient to meet in one of our offices so we are happy to make home and hospital visits if requested. Wills must be retained safely and so we provide our clients with free use of our secure document storage facility.  Other documents such as house deeds can also be stored.
