None of us like to think about it too much but planning for your family’s future after you’re gone is an essential legal task.
Wills and estate planning can be complex in the context of modern families and it is essential to ensure that your wishes for the distribution of your estate will be carried out effectively.
Downeys Lawyers will can help:
- Advise you in regard to estate and Probate laws
- Write a will that maximises the inheritance for your family
- Set up family and testamentary trusts
- Advise you in regard to choosing executors and guardians
- Minimise the chance that your will is contested and subject to litigation
- Advise in regard to estate tax (including capital gains) and financial concerns
At the same time as considering your Will we strongly recommend that you also put in place plans for any future incapacity through Powers of Attorney and Guardianship documents. This will ensure that if you somehow become unable to make decisions about your finances, your medical treatment or living arrangements then the person or persons who you trust to make these decisions can do so unhindered.
