Our Wills and Probate Services
We offer a variety of legal aid and guidance to our clients throughout South Wales. Before we begin our work, we make sure that we understand our clients and their circumstances through an initial consultation. This gives you a chance to ascertain if we are the right solicitor for you.
Will Writing
A drafted will is a legal testament that outlines your final wishes concerning your possessions and assets after your passing. All your belongings and assets combined are known as your ‘estate’. This will specify which beneficiaries receive what parts of your estate. Without a will, there can be ambiguity about who should inherit your property and belongings. Hence, drafting a will as soon as possible and regularly updating it ensures that your last wishes are honoured after your demise.
To draft a legally sound will, many find it helpful to partner with a trusted solicitor. If your personal situation is complex, we offer expert advice on the range of options open to you. Our solicitors will assist you in resolving these matters to ensure your will accurately reflects your final wishes and our witnessing the signing of the will solidifies it as a legally binding document.
Lasting Power of Attorney
When an individual loses mental capacity no matter the circumstance, they’re legally considered incapable of making decisions in their best interest. In such cases, a lasting power of attorney can be arranged to entrust decision-making authority to a reliable person. These decisions pertain to healthcare and financial matters that require an understanding of the individual and their preferences.
Applying for a lasting power of attorney involves a complex application process made simpler with the services of a competent solicitor. By engaging our services, we will help ensure that your medical, financial and other wishes are communicated to your future attorney. We then submit this form to the Office of the Public Guardian to make the document legally binding.
Trust Administration
The legal provisions made for the administration of your assets are known as a trust. This ensures that cash, properties, shares and other assets are correctly transferred to the correct beneficiary. Different types of trusts distribute assets to various beneficiaries under diverse circumstances. Establishing the right kind of trust is critical to fulfilling your wishes.
Collaborating with one of our Wills and Probate solicitors in Ebbw Vale is the most efficient way to set up a legally sound trust. We will guide you through the asset distribution process and ensure that you understand who the trustee and beneficiaries are and when the trust becomes operational. If you have any queries or concerns during the process, your solicitor will be available to address any and all questions. We aim to provide complete assurance that your finances and belongings are managed as per your wishes.
