Making A Will
What to do with your property on your death is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. A Will ensures that your Property, Money and other assets are dealt with however you like after your death.
For example whether that be a safe transfer of Assets to your loved ones, ensuring that your Business lives on beyond your death, or even if you want to provide money to your favourite charity, you can call into our Office and we will be able to draft your Will, appoint an Executor and satisfy all the Legal Criteria, under the Succession Act 1965 are followed to the level required, ensuring throughout that your wishes are followed, and your loved ones are looked after.
Contesting A Will
Do you feel you have been disinherited? Have you been neglected from a Will, where you were given some assurance that you were to benefit? Have you dedicated your personal time and money in providing care to a loved one, only for you to be neglected in their last will and testament?
Why not call into our Office? We will sift through your history with you and let you know if you may be able to contest a Will in your favour, whether that be by bringing a Caveat to stop the Will or by bringing a claim of Proprietary Estoppel.
