Wills and Probate

If you wish to achieve peace of mind and avoid unnecessary stress by ensuring who should benefit from your property you need a Will. If you do not, strictly applied rules will govern just who will get what. This is particularly important for live-in couples as the inheritance law does not automatically recognise them. We will be happy to discuss your wishes, advise on all relevant implications or pitfalls and prepare your new Will. You will need to consider the appointment of Executors to handle your Estate after your death, divide your property amongst the beneficiaries and set any conditions. As circumstances change we will be pleased to help on any necessary amendment to your Will.

Within the firm several Solicitors are experienced in dealing with the legal affairs arising after a death. Obviously these will vary depending on the existence of a Will, surviving family, and the nature and value of the Estate in question. Undeniably these issues would arise in distressing times, but we would be pleased to guide you sympathetically and efficiently through the various administrative procedures and formalities including applications for Probate or Letters of Administration (in the case of there being no Will), taxation, collection disposal and winding up of the State. If you wish to discuss any such matters by telephone or in a free initial interview please do not hesitate to contact us. Arrangements can always be made for home visits.
