If you require more information, why not contact us and ask for our leaflet "10 Steps to Make a Will".

Making a Will enables you to choose who will inherit your property if anything should happen instead of leaving the choice to the law.

The law specifies that your next of kin should inherit if no Will is made and therefore if you wish to leave property to a friend, unmarried partner or charity a Will should be made. A Will enables you to appoint Executors who are people you trust to administer your Estate properly and sort out all your financial matters. You can also appoint Guardians for your children.

Our services include:-

• Preparing Wills
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Application for Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration
• Estate Administration
• Appointment of Guardians

Dealing with an Estate can be an extremely stressful and distressing time.
