WILLS & PROBATE SERVICES

B&D_page-header_WO.png

Wills...

It’s worth considering that any of these transactions should be preceded by discussing a new will whether you have purchased a new property, undergone a separation/ divorce or changed how you hold your property.

 

A change in circumstances may even make previous wills invalid, such as marrying or remarrying. Therefore, it is very important that your last wishes of how your estate is to be distributed, provide clarity and certainty for those left behind.

 

We offer advice and guidance on planning your future to avoid financial stress on a grieving family at a very emotional time.

The Law Society says 'making a will won't kill you'. We can confirm they are right. For all those superstitious people who might have been worried, we suggest they pluck up courage and make one before it is too late.

 

Living Wills...

The real name for these is 'Advance Directive'. The purpose is to give guidance to doctors and family as to your wishes about resuscitation before it is too late to express them.

Signature on a will

The staff of Bird & Daniels take pride in their work and care about their clients’ cases and the reputation of the firm.

Powers of Attorney

Nobody likes to think about the possibility of a family member losing mental capacity and being unable to help with their finances. Loss of mental capacity and the difficulty in dealing with financial affairs can put an added strain on family members trying to help out.

 

We offer a sensitive, caring and compassionate approach to discussing these matters and putting them in place before the urgent need arises, offering peace of mind for all family members.

An attorney is a person appointed by you to act on your behalf and is authorised to sign documents that otherwise would have needed your signature.

 

It is possible to appoint anyone to carry out steps (not necessarily in court) on your behalf under the Powers of Attorney Act 1971. You can limit the power you give if you wish. 

 

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) must be registered with the OPG before they can be used by the appointed attorney

 

Probate / Letters of Administration

We have links with expert probate lawyers who we can refer you to for advice on obtaining a Grant of Probate or obtaining administration of estates.

They offer advice and guidance to executors or administrators whether from start to finish or on a limited assistance basis. They can compile a list of assets and liabilities, draft the relevant tax forms, obtain a Grant of Probate and distribute the estate.

They can alleviate the stress and pressure on family members appointed as executors and help to bring the distribution of the estate to a smooth completion.​​
