Estate Planning and Probate Services

Protecting Your Assets

Estate planning and administration services are designed to help you protect your assets and ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death. Making a will is the best way to ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes. Without a will, the state will determine how your property is divided, which may not be per your wishes. In addition, if you have minor children, it is essential to appoint a guardian in your will so that you can be sure that they will be raised according to your standards.

Estate Administration

Estate planning also involves planning for the management of your affairs in the event that you become incapacitated. This can include appointing a power of Attorney to make financial decisions on your behalf or setting up a trust to manage your property. Estate administration is the process of carrying out these plans after you die. This includes making sure that all of your debts are paid and that your property is distributed according to your wishes.

Estate planning and administration services can be complex and overwhelming, but they are essential to protect your assets and ensure that your wishes are carried out. Working with an experienced solicitor can help make the process easier and give you peace of mind knowing that your affairs are in order.

If you have been appointed executor in an estate, we can guide and assist you in the complexities in obtaining probate and distributing the estate in accordance with the will.
