Making a Will helps to guarantee the financial future of families, as well as ensuring that those whom you wish to benefit from your estate actually do so.
There are many reasons why you should make a will, aside from ensuring that your estate passes in accordance with your wishes;
- To appoint guardians for your children.
- To make adequate financial provision for your children or others through the creation of trusts.
- To provide legacies of cash or specific items to particular individuals or charities.
- If you die without leaving a will then the law makes assumptions as to who receives your property. This can result in your estate not going to the people whom you wish to benefit and your affairs taking many months to sort out.
- Unmarried couples living together should also note that without a will none of their estate would pass to their surviving partner automatically. Any claim for financial provision in these circumstances almost invariably leads to expensive litigation
- To cancel or reduce liability to Inheritance Tax.
We provide a personal, efficient and comprehensive service in preparation and completion of wills.
Tax and Estate Planning
We look after many high net worth clients in relation to their succession planning. With the value of residential property continuing to rise, Inheritance Tax is an issue for many people.
Many estates are now liable to pay Inheritance Tax and this can substantially reduce the value of the estate passing to your beneficiaries. Raising money to pay Inheritance Tax may result in long delays in the administration of your estate and can cause financial difficulties for surviving relatives.
Our specialist team can advise on a Tax Planning Will, which can reduce and in some cases wipe out altogether the Inheritance Tax bill.
