Wills & Probate

Wills

 

As a business person it is essential to make a Will. Our lawyers make it an easy process, not a difficult one.

 

Important points to remember:

 

Without a Will the law dictates how your assets are distributed. You want to make sure that your business is in good shape and the right people benefit from your Will.

 

If you have a family, you need to provide for them. Your Will would state who you want to appoint as your child or children’s guardian.  You would want to appoint someone you trust who can bring up your children and give them the right support love and guidance in the event of your untimely death.

 

Long Term Care Planning and Creation of Trusts – No problem! We can provide you with the services of expert lawyers to advise and guide you through the process.

From preparing your Will, advising on the terms of a Will, calculating inheritance tax, drafting powers of attorney, to protecting property interests and representing you in property and trust disputes– we have you covered.

The estimated costs of Probate is very difficult to predict as it depends on the circumstances of the deceased. An example of this is, where there is a valid Will in place, the following questions need to be addressed:

 

  • Did the deceased die without a Will?

  • Are the beneficiaries easily determined?

  • The size of the estate; and

  • The types of assets in the estate.
