A Will is a set of instructions for when you die. A professionally-drawn Will helps to avoid stress for your loved ones and gives you peace of mind about where your estate will end up after you pass away.
This is called dying ‘intestate’ and there are set rules in law about who will inherit your estate if you die without a Will. This may not reflect your wishes or your family’s needs.
A trust is a legal arrangement where nominated trustees look after assets for others. They can be useful for tax planning, protecting vulnerable beneficiaries, or managing inheritance over time.
Yes – we support executors and families through the estate administration process, including obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration and asset distribution.
A Will takes effect after your death, while a trust can be used to manage and protect assets both during your lifetime and after. We’ll help you decide what’s right for you.
