Wills, Probate and Trusts
Lumsdons' experienced and sympathetic lawyers offer advice on:
- Wills
- Probate and administration of estates
- Inheritance tax planning
- Trusts (lifetime and on death)
It's easy to put off making a will but if you don't you will die "intestate" and legal rules will determine who will inherit your assets.
This is not the fairest solution for family and friends and the law will not always recognise your relationship with your partner if you are unmarried.
By making a will you can express your wishes, whether it is by leaving a sum of money or a treasured object, which will be granted when you die.
The death of a loved one is always a stressful time and Lumsdons can help ease your concerns whether there is a will or whether the rules of intestacy apply.
Our involvement in an estate can vary from preparing the necessary papers to obtain a Grant of Representation to full administration of the estate.
Trusts are often an effective way of preserving assets for future generations. You may wish to protect assets for vulnerable family members or to mitigate against charges including inheritance tax.
