Whilst many people would rather not think about making a Will, it can be the most important document you sign. Professional advice is essential and can make a significant difference to any provision made for those close to you. Even if a Will has already been made, it is worth reviewing it to ensure that it is up to date and takes the latest inheritance tax position into account.
Sadly, through illness or old age, we may not always be in a position to make the most informed decisions about our finances and welfare. Creating a Lasting Power of Attorney could be the best way of safeguarding your interests should your mental capacity become adversely affected.
There are different types of Lasting Powers of Attorney depending on which decisions you would like to be made on your behalf and we would be happy to advise you about these and Powers of Attorney in general so that you can be sure of doing the right thing.
What we can help you with…
We can provide you with extensive knowledge and expertise across a wide range of areas, including:
- Drafting a bespoke Will based on your individual circumstances
- Reviewing existing Wills and producing a Codicil where appropriate
- Advising you on Inheritance Tax laws and tax efficiency of your Will
- Registering your Will with the Certainty National Registry of Wills
