Will Writing services

Having made a will or an up to date will is very important to ensure that the people you wish to receive your assets do so upon your death. Currently 67% of the adult UK population have made no will provision. If you are one of them the Government will determine where your estate goes under the rules of intestacy which are detailed in the table below. Your marital status at the time of death also affects how your estate is distributed.

Inheritance Tax Planning

Inheritance tax is payable on the balance of an estate that is in excess of the current nil rate band and is charged at a rate of 40%. This tax charge must be paid before the estate can be distributed.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

If you were to become mentally or physically incapable to manage your affairs you can give the power to the people you trust to handle & protect your financial affairs through an LPA. In the absence of this document the Court of Protection will appoint a representative to act for you, but this may not automatically be your spouse, partner or a family member.

Business Owners

To ensure the continuation if your business, we can provide partnership and directors agreements.
