Wills
Preparing for old age or death is essential for the proper running and administration of your affairs, financially and otherwise, and for the benefit of your family both during your life and after your death.
WARNING: not making a Will can have catastrophic consequences!
Probate and Administration of Estates
When someone dies, there can be so many questions:
Where do I start? - I can't find a Will - Is the Will valid? - I'm an Executor; what must I do? - what is Probate and do we need it? - who pays the Deceased's debts? - how do I deal with the Deceased's property and savings? - who pays the funeral bill? - the Bank won't let me have access to the Deceased's accounts - does Tax have to be paid? - can I lessen the amount of tax to be paid? - I don't think the Will is what the Deceased wanted - we should have been left more - the wrong people are dealing with the estate - any many more.
How can we help?
We can answer all your questions and advise you on all aspects of these complex areas of law including:
- Advising on and Preparing Wills including "Living Wills"
- Trusts and Estate Planning
- Tax Planning / Inheritiance Tax Advice
- Administration of Estates (i.e. the administration of the Deceased’s estate whether the Deceased has left a Will or not)
- Executorships (where we act as or advise your executors of your Will)
- Disputed Wills, Estates and Probate litigation
- Inheritance Act Claims (if someone has not been adequately provided for in someone's Will or intestacy)
Our advice is both practical and sensitive and will help you protect your family and business assets. Please contact Aron McMahon (TEP and STEP member) on 02920 456780 or email aron.mcmahon@jmdlaw.co.uk
