Wills and Probate

Sadly, making a Will is often the last thing we think about or wish to do. However it remains one of the most important things we will ever do. Not only does it put our affairs in order, it makes sure that your loved ones are looked after in the future and are not additionally traumatised by uncertainties at a time of loss. Once made, a Will ensures your wishes are legally binding, gives you peace of mind and protects those you love.

 

 

Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which lets you appoint someone in whom you trust to act as your attorney and to make important decisions on your behalf. This can include decisions on the way your property and affairs are managed. It is one of the most important decisions you may have to make if unfortunately beginning to experience a decline in your physical and mental condition.

Our team offer an accessible and friendly service catering to the needs of client’s and families in a sensitive, approachable, and flexible manner. Both home visits and visits to care or residential homes can be undertaken if so required.

Over one thousand applications are rejected or returned each month by the Office of the Public Guardian. In a matter of such importance and where there may be an urgency, you can rely on our specialist advice and guidance through the process.

We provide advice, prepare the LPA legal documents for you, prepare the registration forms and check all the documents prior to submission to the Office of the Public Guardian. We offer a fixed fee service for this work.
