Mackrell & Thomas can help with Wills and Probate and Power of Attorney
We are Wills and Probate solicitors who offer private client legal advice across a range of topics covering wills, probate, powers of attorney as well as estates and inheritance tax advice.
Wills
Did you know two thirds of people have never made a will?
A properly drafted Will from Wills and Probate solicitors provides the peace of mind of knowing your loved ones are taken care of and allows you to leave your assets to the people you want to, when you die.
Mackrell & Thomas are wills and probate solicitors who can ensure that making your Will is simple, straightforward and cost effective.
Why should you make a Will using a qualified wills and probate solicitor?
- Makes it easier for friends and family to sort everything out- without a Will the process can be more time consuming and stressful
- Without a Will everything will be shared out in a way defined by the law
- Reduce the amount of inheritance tax
- If you want to leave something to an unmarried partner or people outside of your immediate family
- Homemade Wills can often contain legal errors, which lead to the will being declared invalid.
Powers of Attorney
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you choose people (‘attorneys’) such as a friend or relative who can make decisions and deal with matters for you. There are two types of LPA and you can decide to make one or both:
- Health and Welfare – dealing with daily routines; medical care or moving into a care home
- Property and Financial affairs – paying bills; collecting benefits or selling your home
Before it can be used, a LPA has to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
Probate
We can help recently bereaved clients to deal with their loved ones’ affairs. We offer a free consultation to provide you with guidance and advice on what to consider when a loved one dies. We can advise you on how to register the death, making funeral arrangements, and who should be notified.
Our aim is to provide you and your family with practical support and advice at a difficult time.
We can offer you a wide range of private client services including:
- Probate and Administration of Estates
- Disputed Will
- Claims under the Inheritance Act
