Our Trust and Estate Support Services team can provide advice and attend to the preparation of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Wills
We recommend, irrespective of age, that all our clients have a Will and our experienced will-writing team, who follow the STEP Will Writing Code, can assist with this. A properly drafted Will enables you to:
- decide who will inherit your estate, on what terms, who will be your executors and, if you have minor children, who will be their guardians
- determine the extent of any potential inheritance tax liability
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) are legal documents that allow you to delegate the management of your affairs to people you trust in the event that, for whatever reason, you become unable to manage them yourself, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
There are two types:
- Property and Finance LPAs enable Attorney(s) to make property and financial decisions on behalf of the donor e.g. operating a bank account, selling property
- Health and Welfare LPAs enable Attorney(s) to make health and personal welfare decisions on behalf of the donor e.g. day to day care, medical treatment
