Wills, trusts & estates solicitors

Protection and peace of mind through effective wealth planning

There are a variety of ways you can protect your wealth and assets for the future. Every individual’s circumstances are unique and therefore it is important to receive wills and trusts advice that is specifically tailored to you and your family’s needs.

You may be worried about how best to leave your assets to the next generation, or how best to leave money to a charity of your choice. Alternatively, you may be concerned about who will make important decisions on your behalf should you no longer be able to make those decisions yourself or you may be looking for advice on managing the affairs of vulnerable people.

As every individual’s circumstances are unique it is important that the advice you receive is tailored to your individual needs, whether it’s advice on making a will, or on trusts and tax planning.

Structuring your estate in such a way as to help protect your assets for the future, provide for those you care about and minimising the tax payable can help give you peace of mind that these practical aspects have been handled in the best interests of you and your family. Our team of expert wills and trusts solicitors can provide specialist support in this area to ensure you have the best possible advice and help, based on your own unique situation.

Why are wills, trusts and estate planning so important?

While some people’s estates are fairly straightforward, that is not always the case, and past, current or potential future events could add another layer of complexity to your affairs that you may not be prepared for. Life changes such as divorce, separation or estrangement might alter your wishes in terms of your estate, as can starting new relationships, blending families together and becoming a step-parent. It might be that you have assets in different countries, or have several different business interests and it’s essential that your wishes for what should happen to these is determined as early as possible.

For high-net-worth individuals, or those with highly complex situations, ensuring that your estate is set up in the best possible way, along with your will being up to date and any trusts you require being set up, can make a big difference to your peace of mind now and in the future, but can also help avoid much of the stress that can come with estate ambiguity for your loved ones when the times comes.

Whatever your situation, we can offer the specialist advice that you need to ensure your wishes are followed and that things are set up in the best interests of you and those you care about.
