Wills and Estate Planning

Planning your estate is one of the most important things you’ll do in life, yet surprisingly many people neglect to make a will, and unknowingly create chaos for their family and friends. Of the people who do leave a will, many fail to pay full attention to the finer points of their bequests, which again can cause problems for the loved ones they leave behind.

Not only should a will be kept current (the value of bequests is eroded by inflation and law changes may mean aspects are missed), but opportunities for tax savings arise.

We can also advise you about Advance Decisions (also known as Living Wills or Advance Directives) – the chance to set out your wishes regarding medical treatment should you in future become unable to make or communicate those decisions yourself. An Advance Decision ensures that you receive the treatment of your choice.

Leaving a comprehensive, up-to-date will not only eases the burden on your friends and family, it gives you the peace of mind of knowing your wishes will be fulfilled.
