Wills & Estate Planning
Thinking about death or what follows for loves ones isn’t everyone’s favourite pass-time, but it’s important to grasp the necessity of planning for the future and putting your affairs in order for when you are no longer around.
Regardless of the size of estate you leave, your plans for how it will be distributed need to be formalised. Without this, the process of losing a loved one and trying to determine what they would have wanted can be extremely painful for the people you leave behind.
Estate planning can be simpler than many imagine. It can ensure your assets go to exactly the people you want. Our process for wills and estate planning involves:
- Working with solicitors to guarantee you an accurately drafted will that states the intended distribution of assets upon your death.
- Advising you on the appropriate strategies to use for planning all aspects of inheritance.
