WILLS, PROBATES & ESTATE PLANNING

It is important to make a Will to provide yourself with the peace of mind that your estate passes to your loved ones in accordance with your wishes. Without a Will, the rules of intestacy apply and your estate will automatically go to your next of kin in a fixed order. If we hold a Will for the deceased, we will outline the contents of the same and explain the process and tax implications involved in administering that estate.

Our service includes:

  • Preparing the Will and Estate Planning.
  • General advice on the main tax issues involved.
  • Probate and Administration of Estates.
  • Succession Rights and disputes arising from the same.
  • Enduring Powers of Attorney.
