Wills; Powers of Attorney; Executries
We can assist you in making or updating your will. We can also advise you on Inheritance Tax. In certain circumstances a properly drafted will could save your family many thousands of pounds. This will ensure that your estate passes according to your wishes rather than the common law.
We also regularly prepare powers of attorney for clients and have considerable experience and expertise in winding up estates.
Legal Guardianships for Adults with Incapacity
The issue of adult incapacity can, sooner or later, affect most of our families. Incapacity can be caused by either a physical disability or a mental disorder and means that an adult is incapable of making decisions for themselves, communicating decisions, understanding decisions or indeed retaining memory of decisions.
Where an adult has lost capacity and did not make a Power of Attorney, it may sometimes be necessary to apply to the Court for an Order to allow the family to deal with financial and welfare decisions for the adult.
At Stodarts we can help guide the family through this difficult process.
