Wills and Probate

More and more people are planning ahead and are realising the importance of making a will. By having a will in place, you are giving your personal instructions as to what should happen to your estate in the event of your death. This is especially important for those with children and those who are cohabiting (living together whilst unmarried). If you die without leaving a will, your estate will be dealt with under the fixed, rigid rules of intestacy.

Managing an estate and ensuring that it can be divided according to your intentions is often a complicated task and is fraught with many considerations. We can assist and guide you with preparing an application for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration. We will liaise with all creditors relevant to your estate including banks, building societies, pension companies and government bodies.
