read moreMaking a will is generally not on the top of most people's 'to-do' list, explaining perhaps why only a third of us have one in place! However, if you die without making a Will, legally known as dying intestate, then the intestacy laws take effect and your assets may not end up with who you would expect or indeed, would want. Talk to one of our highly experienced Private Client team and we will firstly ensure a full understanding of your family dynamics and financial circumstances. With this insight we will then offer tailored Will advice as to the type of Will - be it basic or more complicated - that meets your needs and does so in the most tax-efficient way.

It is also a time when dealing with the practicalities and decisions that must be made regarding the deceased's estate is probably the last thing that is wanted. Our highly experienced private client team understands these difficulties and will talk to those responsible for estate administration - the executors (or administrators, if no will was left) - offering support and advice and, on the executors' behalf, handle all the various aspects that need to be dealt with as part of the estate administration.
