Wills and Probate
It is important to make a will in order to ensure that after your death, your assets are distributed as you would wish and that adequate provision is made to care for your partner and dependents. Our team will be able to discuss points with you that you might not otherwise have considered, in the light of the relevant legislation, and will produce a Will tailored to your individual requirements, whether you are a husband and wife wanting straight forward wills or dealing with the issues arising from second marriages, a single parent with guardianship concerns or an individual requiring complex inheritance tax advice.
We are experienced in the administration of estates of all sizes and complexity and will deal with the matter professionally and sensitively recognising that this is a time of distress for those concerned.
If appropriate we can advise on the opportunities for post-death tax planning through the use of Deeds of Variation.
In conjunction with our litigation department we can advise you if you are unhappy with the administration of an estate of which you are a beneficiary or if you feel inadequate provision has been made for you by another person's will or intestacy.
For an estimate of our costs in making your will or for the likely costs involved in administering an estate, contact Amanda Hayman by telephone on 01256 354481 or by email at ahayman@brainchasecoles.co.uk
