Getting A Will
Getting a Will is often the last thing on everyones mind. After all, thinking about what happens to your possessions, your estate or your finances after you’re gone isn’t easy. However, it’s really very important that you’ve got everything in place properly, so that your family don’t suffer the consequences of legal battles and debates and other stresses, alongside the loss of a loved one.
Writing a Will is more than just a document saying ‘what you want to happen’. There are certain terms and conditions you need to ensure are in your will to make it legally enforceable.
Probate
Probate, quite simply, is the process of dealing with the estate of the deceased. However, it is anything but simple and can be time consuming, confusing and complex. Whilst you can always apply for a grant of probate yourself, you will be required to attend an interview at one of the district registries and it’s likely you’ll have lengthy Inland Revenue forms to fill out. Sidestep all of that stress and aggravation, by allowing Law and Life to deal with it for you. Simply get your call back now to obtain your free consultation.
Lasting Powers Of Attorney
There are two types of Lasting Powers Of Attorney, one for financial and one for health/care decisions. Ensuring you choose the right people to set up your Lasting Powers Of Attorney, and who you grant them to, is extremely important simply because it will allow that person to make legal decisions on your behalf. From buying or selling property to deciding what social activities you should take part in.
