Whilst one's own demise is oftentimes taboo and uncomfortable to deal with, it is an exceedingly important aspect of life that one needs to manage. We will guide you through putting your Will in place or advise you on the updating of your existing Will and inheritance issues. We will brief you on the options available to you in dealing with your estate to ensure that your assets are dealt with in the manner you desire upon your death.

We understand that the times following a bereavement can be distressing and we offer sensitive and practical assistance whether the deceased had a Will or died intestate. We also assist clients in dealing with the administration of the estate and the release of assets for the beneficiaries after probate has been obtained.

We also assist clients in putting in place Lasting Powers of Attorney. These appoint an attorney (donee) to deal with your property and affairs, including your healthcare and welfare should you lose your mental capacity to manage your finances. We provide advice on the implications and the use of Lasting Powers of Attorney and assist in the preparation of the necessary documentation and registration with the Office of Public Guardian.

Where there is no Lasting Power of Attorney in place and where your loved one has lost his/her mental capacity to manage his/her own financial affairs, we can assist the family member(s) in making an application to Court for the said member(s) to be appointed as the deputy/deputies to manage the finances, property and affairs of the mentally incapacitated loved one.
