What is a Legal Will?
A legal Will provides peace of mind that your loved ones and assets will be protected. Making a Will is one of the best methods of ensuring that your assets are distributed as per your wishes upon death. It can save your loved ones a lot of stress and money during what will undoubtedly be a difficult time. Our service includes tailoring a well-crafted legal Will which will ensure your assets are protected, and your loved ones don’t have to deal with any additional stress.
A legal will also allow you to make decisions for yourself about who will manage your finances and medical care if you become unable to make decisions for yourself. A legal will can also be used to specify any charities or organizations that you would like to have included in your will. Additionally, a legal will can include instructions for the care of any pets you have. Having a legal will in place can help to provide your loved ones with peace of mind knowing that your wishes are known and respected.
Enduring Power of Attorney
Not only is the preparation of your Will extremely important, but so is choosing an executor. That is, someone you trust to manage your affairs upon death. Appointing someone now to manage your affairs in the event you are unable to do so through accident or illness. This is called an enduring power of attorney.
