Wills and inheritance tax planning

I am a solicitor based in Cotford St Luke offering an efficient and personal service on all aspects of wills, inheritance tax planning, administration of estates, powers of attorney, enduring powers of attorney and living wills.

Recent statistics have shown that 2 out of 3 adults do not have a will. A correctly drawn up and regularly reviewed will allows you to control the final destination of your estate.

If you have assets over £275,000 your loved ones may have to pay inheritance tax at 40%. Making a will should be the first step in organizing your financial affairs in order to minimize your inheritance tax liability.

I offer advice on wealth preservation tailored to your particular circumstances.

Furthermore, by writing a will you can express your wishes concerning funeral arrangements and whether you wish to donate any organs. With regards to your children if there is no surviving parent you can leave clear instructions as to whom you wish to be appointed as guardians to look after your children. You can also make known who you wish specific items, such as family heirlooms and small gifts, to be passed to.

Another positive aspect to writing a will is that it allows you to name people (executors) who you would like to deal with your estate and affairs after your death.

I am in a position to meet clients at home or at their place of work for an initial discussion.
