WILLS AND CODICILS
A properly drafted will makes life easier for those you leave behind by ensuring that your assets are dealt with just as you intended. At Wright & Co Solicitors, we make sure your estate is distributed amongst the people that you would like, and we ensure stability for your children by appointing guardians and setting guidelines for them regarding significant decisions that have to be made. We can also ensure your estate is dealt with in a tax-efficient manner by applying exemptions to reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax payable. You can find out more about Inheritance Tax here. Intestacy rules do not recognise unmarried couples, no matter how long they have lived together. If any property (including your home) is in the sole name of the partner that dies, it will pass to their next of kin or the Crown rather than the surviving partner. Even if you are married, the law limits the amount that passes directly to a spouse on intestacy. If the net estate exceeds £250,000, some of it may have to be shared with any surviving children and grandchildren.
​
Making a will is not expensive; it provides peace of mind in knowing what you want to happen after your death. We offer a sensitive, open, and practical service to help you and your family find the right solution.
PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION
Probate is an essential step in the legal process that follows after someone has died, where the estate of the person who has passed is administered, all claims are resolved, and property is distributed. At Wright & Co Solicitors, we have more than 40 years of combined experience in dealing with probate and distribution of estates, including advising on steps that may be available to minimise Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax through varying the will following death.
LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND APPLICATIONS TO THE COURT OF PROTECTION
A Lasting Power of Attorney allows the chosen representative to make decisions when the donor cannot look after their personal, financial or business affairs. Wright & Co Solicitors offers a fixed-fee service for creating and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney, whether for property and financial affairs or personal welfare. We will take you through the Mental Capacity Act 2005 requirements and the legal requirements and obligations necessary. We even provide a certified copy of the registered Power as part of our service, allowing you to quickly register the Power with banks, building societies and other financial institutions. When an individual has already lost the mental capacity necessary to make a Lasting Power of Attorney, we can advise on alternatives to assist their carer in managing their property and affairs.
