Bedfordshire Wills Other Legal Services
Wills
These represent the core of our business.
However we can also advise you on a range of ancillary products, but we will
only inform you about them.
It is company policy that we never try to pressure you to take any of them.
Codicils
Minor amendments to existing Wills
Will Trusts
We can offer a range of specialist Trusts for large estates and for unusual
circumstances.
Wills Storage
Your Wills and other valuable documents safely stored for you for an annual
fee.
Will Registration
Your Will needs to be found whenever it is needed. A one-off payment to the
National Will Register is the most effective way of tracking its whereabouts.
Probate
We can help to put you in touch with a local solicitor specialising in probate
or some of the best trust corporations in the country.
Powers
of Attorney
There are two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA).
Property and Affairs LPAs enable you to appoint someone to look after your
financial affairs whenever you wish them to do so.
Personal Welfare LPAs let you determine your future healthcare in advance
They both have to be registered with the government before they are used,
but can then continue even if you later lose the ability to make such decisions
for yourself.
General Powers of Attorney are much simpler and enable you to make arrangements
for someone to look after your affairs while you are still well.
Changes of
Tenancy
We can arrange to add additional people to the ownership of your house, or
change the way it is owned if you want your share of the house to go to someone
other than the co-owner when you die.
Pre-paid Funeral Plans ensure that your funeral instructions are carried out as you wish and that your next of kin are relieved of organising and paying for your funeral.
We do not offer
general Insurance. However we can offer a limited range of policies
that will enhance your Estate Planning. Examples include mortgage protection
policies to pay off your mortgage and enable loved ones to continue living
in your home, and specialist policies to offset inheritance tax and to pay
for nursing care.
