Wills & Estate Planning

WILLS & ESTATE PLANNING

Planning for your family’s future after you’re gone is a really important legal task.

If you take the time now to make an effective and legally binding Will, you can protect your family against costly and stressful legal disputes during a time that will undoubtedly be a difficult time for them.

GKN Law Firm’s will and estate planning solicitors can help:

Advise you about estate and Probate laws
Write a Will that maximises the inheritance for your family
Set up family and testamentary trusts
Advise you in regard to choosing executors and guardians
Minimise the chance of your Will being contested and subject to litigation
Advise about estate tax (including Capital Gains Tax) and financial concerns
Safely store your Will and other important legal documents

At the same time as considering your Will, we strongly recommend that you also put in place plans for any future incapacity through Power of Attorney and Guardianship documents. This will ensure that if you somehow become unable to make decisions about your finances, your medical treatment or living arrangements, then the person or persons who you trust to make these decisions can do so unhindered, on your behalf.
