What to do when someone dies?
Loosing a family member may be one of the most difficult and emotion events that you will ever have to deal with. Administering or sorting out relatives legal affairs after they have passed away is usually the last thing you want to have to do at the time, but it is one of the most important. We can help you.
We deal with all kinds of estates, including:
- Valuing land and property, savings, accounts and liabilities;
- Small inheritances within the family;
- Obtaining grants of probate or letters of administration;
- Large estates with inheritance tax issues and transferable nil rate bands;
- Insolvent estates;
- Contested wills and trusts;
- Administration of trusts and estates;
- Distributing assets and trustee notices;
- Will draft.
We will spend our time giving you the advice and confidence you need to bring everything to a close as quickly as is possible. And no matter what unexpected events the future brings you can be sure you’re getting the best legal advice to see you through.
Have you been excluded from a relative’s will? If so you may have a claim against the estate, but you have a limited time in which to act.
Please contact us today to get the advice you need at this difficult time for an initial interview.
Powers of attorney
Powers of attorney can take various forms. They are often used by companies or trustees to delegate powers for business affairs. However they are widely used by elderly or vulnerable people so that relatives can carry out day to day jobs and help them with their affairs.
There are three main kinds:
- Ordinary power of attorney;
- Enduring power of attorney;
- Lasting power of attorney.
It is not possible to make an enduring power of attorney any longer; existing powers are still valid but may require registration. For new powers of attorney you will need to contact us for legal advice; ordinary powers may be enough for your needs and are not expensive, lasting powers however are often preferred because they cannot be revoked by ill health or memory problems.
You could end up needing full time nursing care in which case you will have to sell your house to pay for your care. Please contact us to discuss ways in which provision can be made for your children or surviving relatives so that they can inherit all of you property. You must do this before you have any real difficulties. Please contact us for a interview.
