Wills, Probate and Powers of Attorney
We are here to help you make the right decisions for yourself and those around you. We have a wealth of experience in will writing, probate and powers of attorney.
Will writing, tailor made for you
Inheritance law is complex, and no two estates are the same. This is why a good will requires good advice. We have the extensive expertise and experience you need in the fields of will writing, probate, tax planning and trust management.
Our team combines this knowledge with an understanding approach to create a will tailored to your specific needs. When you die your estate is distributed in one of two ways. If you do not have a will, it must be distributed in accordance with the law.
However if you do have a will your estate will be distributed in accordance with your wishes – literally, according to your will. Therefore, if you want to decide how your estate is distributed, it is vital that you have a valid will.
Probate and administration of estates
We understand that this is a sensitive time for all concerned.
Be assured that we act with sympathy, efficiency and professionalism to ensure that you get the advice you need. We can make sure that the estate of the deceased person is dealt with correctly and as quickly as possible.
Often, family members or friends are named as the executors or are appointed as administrators of the deceased’s estate. This can be a time-consuming and complex task, which can add to the emotional strain at this very difficult time. If there is no valid will, then we can advise you on where you stand legally.
In all cases, Graham Dawson & Co can deal with the administration and distribution of an estate for you. We have years of experience, so you can be assured that, however complex an estate, we will handle it efficiently. We can also advise on the many tax issues that can arise on death.
Powers of attorney
A Power of Attorney is a document by which one person appoints another to do specific acts for them or to look after their affairs generally.
