WILLS SOLICITORS SHEFFIELD & PROBATE SERVICES SHEFFIELD

Sheffield Solicitors know that will writing does not normally feature at the top of your priority list. And that is quite understandable.

However, no matter how morbid it might be contemplating your death there are huge advantages in writing now. It is, after all, much easier to decide who should benefit from your assets while you are still here! It is also particularly important if you manage your family’s house or are the owner of the family home and want to safeguard the interests of your loved ones.

This is because a will leaves a clear set of instructions as to what will happen to your assets, personal belonging and money on your death. Having a will also ensures you have control over what happens to your estate rather than leaving it to the State or unknown parties to make these decisions for you. A will ensures peace of mind and security or your family and avoids confusion and potential disputes.

Writing a will does not have to be costly or take up much time. It is a straightforward process sometimes taking no more than one hour of your time. There are no forms to fill in and no documents for you to gather. Sheffield solicitors offer a simple, friendly, efficient and professional will writing service to help you plan ahead.

We will initially invite you to discuss your family and financial background to gain an understanding of how best we can help. We understand that writing your will is a personal matter but you can be sure that everything said will be treated with total confidence. When the will takes effect, we will establish guardians for your children, providing power of attorney so your family’s daily affairs can be managed, and naming an executor, helping your family during this difficult time.

We will be able to work with executors and beneficiaries of the will to ensure the assets are identified, taxes are paid, any claims of the estate are established and that the assets are correctly distributed among the beneficiaries.

Sheffield solicitors also handle the complex issues of Inheritance Tax and handling the sale of any property. If the matter is straightforward it will still be necessary for executors to obtain a grant of probate, finalise their tax position and ensure no unexpected creditors make a claim for the deceased’s assets. Finally, and most importantly, we will ensure that the provisions of the will are put into force.
