Wills & Probate

 

Making a Will

The rising value of property and other assets mean that more people than ever will inherit something from their relatives. We've all worked hard to build these assets and by making a decent Will, you will be ensuring that your property is passed on to those that you care for, with minimum tax liability and little room for family dispute.

Our Wills and Probate team of specialists recommend that you regularly review your Will to account for changing personal and financial circumstances; particularly important when children are involved as asset distribution within complex family structures and even guardianship arrangements can often be overlooked. 

 

Lifetime planning

People are living longer but unfortunately are not always retaining their mental capacity. Nobody knows what's round the corner but with the help of Tayntons LLP you can easily take control of your future care by giving someone else the power to act on your behalf should you become mentally incapable. 

For example, you could be dealing with the results of an accident or illness, whether your own or someone else's and at Tayntons we can offer practical and sensitive advice to help you plan your future living, healthcare and welfare arrangements. 

 

After death

When someone dies, their estate will need settling, whether under the provision of a Will or according to the laws of intestacy. Our Probate team has helped many relatives and friends through this complicated area of law, acting as executors ourselves or providing advice to appointed executors or personal representatives. We also advise on inheritance disputes, where Wills or their interpretation can appear unfair or ambiguous, common in the case of unmarried couples and other modern family structures which include children, remarriages and step-children.

 

Wills and Probate Law is incredibly intricate and procedural and our team is highly experienced and strictly regulated by the Law Society. Home visits are available and if you feel you might be affected by any of these issues, call us free on 0800 389 7203 to find out more on how we can help you.
