Wills and Estates

SERVICES & EXPERTISE

Asset Planning

Whether you think your personal circumstances are basic or complicated, it is a good idea to get in touch with a lawyer to discuss the structure of your family, your assets, and any wishes you have. This becomes important if in future you aren’t able to make decisions for yourself, or if you die.

Our private client team are skilled at having these difficult conversations, and can make the process quick, easy, and understandable so you can carry on with your day to day, knowing that the ‘what ifs’ are taken care of. Our team can:

1. Assist you with drafting a Will, which is an important document ensuring your assets are divided and distributed according to your wishes after you die. It should be reviewed any time you experience a big life change such as marriage, children, or financial windfalls;
2. Document your wishes and help you to confidently put in place enduring power of attorney documents, which enable someone else to make decisions for you, if you are no longer able to make those decisions yourself;
3. Navigate alongside you the protection of assets from a relationship, or a separation from your partner or spouse;
4. Provide legal advice on probate applications, estate administration, and claims against estates.
