Will Writing
We know that discussing the distribution of your estate and the future care for your dependants can feel difficult and challenging. However, when you plan ahead, you are not only making things easier for your family and loved ones, but you are also ensuring that your estate is administered in accordance with your intentions, plus any dependants will be cared for by your chosen guardians.
You will need to consider several factors when preparing a will, whether you want a straightforward arrangement or something more complex. Our team will draft a clear, well-written, and legally valid Will that reflects your wishes.
Probate
Losing a loved one is an emotional time. With or without a Will in place, handling the distribution of an estate, can be a stressful and difficult time. Our team are here to help ease the stress in dealing with the legal and financial obligations of the deceased.
Contested Probate
The administration and distribution of the deceased assets can be contested (Contested Probate), with or without a Will in place.
When Probate is challenged, it can as a result make this period even more stressful, during an already emotional time.
Whether you are Contesting Probate, or engaged in a Probate Dispute, we offer straightforward and factual legal advice. Therefore, make sure you understand your legal rights, contact our team today.
Power of Attorney
Prepare for your future with a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). By drawing up a Lasting Power of Attorney whilst you are still capable, will ensure you understand and agree to the legal entitlements your dedicated Power of Attorney can undertake on your behalf, should you be unable to look after your financial affairs, health or welfare.
Court of Protection
Where no Lasting Power of Attorney in place, and an individual lacks the capacity to make decisions independently, an application may be submitted, in certain situations, to the Court of Protection. In the event of a successful application, permission is given to someone else to make decisions on your behalf.
However, Bassets provides legal advice to anyone who involved in proceedings at the Court of Protection.
