Drafting and reviewing Wills
A well-drafted Will ensures that your wishes will be respected and can help prevent disputes between your loved ones. Without a Will, there is no guarantee that the rules of intestacy will align with your requests, leaving your loved ones in an uncertain position.
Our Wills Solicitors in Witney will work with you to create a legally valid Will which reflects your priorities and ensures that those closest to you are looked after. We also assist with updating existing Wills to account for changes in your circumstances or legislation, providing security for the future.
Drafting, reviewing and implementing Lasting Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) are essential legal tools for ensuring your affairs are managed by someone you trust should you become unable to make decisions for yourself. They offer a practical and secure way to plan for the future, safeguarding your wishes and providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Our Lasting Powers of Attorney Solicitors in Witney specialise in drafting, reviewing, and implementing LPAs tailored to your unique circumstances. Whether you require advice on a Property and Financial Affairs LPA or a Health and Welfare LPA, we will guide you through the process with clarity and care, ensuring your documents are legally robust and reflect your wishes in full.
Advising on the creation of Trusts
Trusts can be valuable tools for managing and protecting assets, whether for inheritance planning or providing for vulnerable beneficiaries. They can represent an intelligent method of protecting your wealth for the future, circumnavigating some Inheritance Tax regulations, and establishing a firm financial structure for loved ones.
Our Trusts Solicitors in Witney offer tailored advice on establishing Trusts, such as Discretionary Trusts, Family Trusts, and Life Interest Trusts. We will guide you securely through the process, ensuring the Trust structure aligns with your goals and complies with legal requirements so you can be confident in your affairs.
Advising on setting of Family Trusts
Family Trusts can provide financial security for future generations and safeguard family wealth. Our Trusts Solicitors in Witney offer advice on creating and managing Family Trusts, helping you structure your assets effectively.
Whether you are looking to provide for children, manage business interests, or plan for potential care costs, we will help you choose the best solution for your family. We can outline all available options so your family can be assured of the most appropriate Trust to protect your shared assets moving forward.
Probate services to assist Executors
We understand that handling probate can be a complex and time-consuming process that can cause you undue stress. Our Probate Solicitors in Witney provide step-by-step guidance for Executors, helping you apply for the Grant of Probate, identify and value assets, settle liabilities, and distribute the estate in accordance with the Will or the rules of intestacy.
We simplify the process, ensuring you meet all legal obligations with minimal obstacles. Our aim is to make this process as clear as possible for you, so we will take care of all the complex formalities whilst you think about what is most important at this difficult time.
Support with estate administration
Estate administration involves managing financial responsibilities, distributing assets, and resolving liabilities after a loved one passes. We offer practical support to Executors and Administrators, ensuring all aspects of the estate are handled efficiently and accurately.
Whether dealing with creditors, transferring property, or preparing estate accounts, our expert Estate Administration Solicitors are here to help. We ensure that your loved one’s wishes are listened to and that those who matter are looked after in the most empathetic manner possible.
Inheritance Tax planning
Inheritance Tax can significantly impact the value of your estate, so planning to work around this can mean your loved ones benefit significantly more from your assets. It is essential to enlist the best advice to ensure that you are able to steer through these complex regulations appropriately.
Our Inheritance Tax Solicitors provide tailored strategies to help minimise tax liabilities, including bespoke advice on using Trusts, Lifetime Gifts, and other planning tools. With our expertise, you can ensure that more of your wealth is preserved for your loved ones in the future.
Dispute resolution related to Wills, Trusts, and estates
Disputes over Wills, Trusts and estates can cause significant emotional and financial strain and potentially place the wishes of your loved one in jeopardy. Likewise, if you feel that you have been unfairly provided for, this can be extremely stressful, possibly leaving you in a vulnerable position.
Our Contentious Probate Solicitors in Witney specialise in resolving disputes efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. From contesting a Will to addressing claims under the Inheritance Act, we will provide robust representation and strategic advice to best protect your interests.
Legal guidance for Executors and Trustees
Executors and Trustees have significant responsibilities, including managing assets, distributing funds, and complying with legal requirements. For this reason, it is important to secure the best legal guidance so you can carry out your obligations confidently.
Our experienced team of Probate Solicitors in Witney provide clear advice to ensure you fulfil your duties effectively and avoid potential legal pitfalls. We can assist with everything from understanding your obligations to resolving complex Trust issues.
