WILLS AND PROBATE
Specialists in Wills & Probate
We have an established reputation in the field of Wills and Probate and our team of experts are friendly and approachable. We aim to help you clarify your ideas and draw up a will that caters for eventualities that you may not have considered. It is our aim to make the process as painless as possible and to ensure that your will is expressed in clear and precise language to avoid misinterpretation. We also advise on potential problems which could lead to your will being challenged after your death.
Why make a Will?
Making a will gives you the opportunity to say exactly who should benefit following your death. If you do not make a will, the law will decide who takes charge of your financial affairs on the event of your death (personal representatives) as well as who receives everything that you own (beneficiaries). This will be in accordance with the Laws of Intestacy and may mean that someone you may not wish to inherit your estate will receive part or all of your estate.
In making a will, you can appoint people of your choice to act as your personal representatives (executors) as well as deciding exactly who should benefit from your estate. In addition, by coming to George Ide LLP for advice, you could save your beneficiaries from paying unnecessary tax, appoint guardians for young children and specify your own funeral arrangements.
How can we help you?
By making an appointment to talk to one of our experts, you can feel assured of our full attention. If it is difficult for you to come to our offices, we may be able to make special arrangements to visit you in your home, residential home or hospital.
We can also help you plan for a secure future by putting measures in place to help you and your family cope with unexpected circumstances that might arise due to absence, illness or incapacity. We can help you arrange for someone to handle your affairs by giving them the legal authority or Power of Attorney which means that in case of incapacity your financial matters are dealt with by your chosen attorney.
