Wills & Powers of Attorney Solicitors

Wills

The thought of making a Will to many people is uncomfortable but it is probably the most important legal document that you will ever make, giving both you and your loved ones peace of mind to know that your affairs are in order and that your wishes are in place.

Making a Will ensures certainty for your loved ones who are likely to be experiencing a time of intense bereavement. It sets out clearly, for example, your funeral wishes and the persons whom you wish to appoint as executors to deal with the administration of your estate and to give effect to the terms of your Will after your death.

Making a Will avoids your estate from being administered according to strict statutory intestacy rules which are highly unlikely to reflect your true wishes.

Powers of Attorney 

A Power of Attorney is a vital legal tool that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. This person could be a family member or a trusted professional, and their role is to step in when you’re unable to manage your own affairs.

While every adult has the right to handle their own finances and decisions, circumstances like illness, disability, or unexpected accidents can affect your ability to do so as you get older.

Planning ahead is crucial. There are practical steps you can take now to safeguard your future and ensure your wishes are respected. Whether for yourself or a loved one, seeking legal advice can help you navigate these decisions.
