Drafting Wills and Resolving Probate Matters Effectively
Handling matters related to death or end-of-life decisions can be challenging. However, that does not mean the topics can be ignored. Whether you are thinking about drafting a Will or are responsible for getting a loved one's estate through probate, an experienced professional can guide you through the process. Winch & Winch Solicitors is one of the oldest firms in the Medway Towns, and we are committed to providing individuals with high quality representation and compassionate legal advice.
Drafting a Will Tailored to Your Needs
The importance of a well-written Will cannot be overstressed. Wills can help manage your finances at the time of your death, but they can also protect your family. When we work with clients, we tailor our writing to meet their personal financial circumstances, family commitments and possible taxation. If you already have a Will, we can help you review it to make sure it stays current as your life changes or evolves.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a document by which individuals would appoint someone to look after their affairs should they become unable to look after their own affairs, for example through illness or incapacity. We can assist by guiding clients through all Court of Protection and Public Guardianship matters.
Handling Medway Towns Probate With Sympathy and Efficiency
After the death of a loved one, it is important to those who are left behind that the estate is administered with sympathy and efficiency. Our experienced solicitors can help with the process, such as:
- Obtaining valuations of all the assets of the estate
- Agreeing tax liability
- Applying for the grant of probate (or letters of administration if there is no Will)
- Gathering the assets of the estate
- Administering the assets according to the will or law
We also represent clients in contentious probate (disputes about Wills and Probate)situations. With so many elements that must be addressed during the probate process, many individuals prefer to have solicitors handle the entire matter. What may start as a seemingly simple exercise can quickly become complicated and time-consuming. We are here to provide you with the guidance you need throughout the process.
