Wills and Probate
What could be more important than securing your family’s future? Seeking advice now and taking the appropriate action will guarantee that your own future, and the future of those who depend upon you, is secure.
Arscotts Wills service is much more than signing a document. Our experienced Solicitors will listen to your wishes and concerns and will then advise on your options and implications...including the ones you may not have thought about!
Statistics are still suggesting that many people still die without making a Will. Worse still, many people die leaving behind a Will that is out of date, because the law has moved on or personal circumstances have changed. Making a Will and then also reviewing it from time to time is the only way you can guarantee on your death that your estate will go those people or organisations you chose.
Whether this is your first Will and your wishes are straight forward, or you need a Will to mitigate inheritance tax or preserve assets for your immediate beneficiaries and beyond Arscotts will be at hand to assist in all details of your Will and be able to answer any specific questions you may have.
In addition to the preparation of the Will itself we can offer advice on :
-
Giving effect to your funeral wishes
-
Appointing executors and guardians
-
How best to deal with gifts of specific assets or cash amounts
-
How to provide for minor children
-
Assets preservation trust structures to ensure that your intended beneficiaries are protected “from themselves” or others
-
Inheritance tax efficient nil rate band trust structures
-
Business property and agricultural property relief for inheritance tax purposes
-
The extent of your inheritance tax liabilities
-
The apparently competing interests of the new spouse and your children
-
Identifying potential claimants against your estate and how best to avoid those issues arising
Writing a Will is not the end of the matter. We always advise that Wills should be reviewed every three to five years, and certainly when your circumstances change.
Important: If someone close to you has died – and has not left a will, we can help you sort out the estate.
