Wills and probate

Life is full of twists and turns and none of us can be sure what the future holds. That’s why creating a will makes good sense. As more and more people realise the importance of making a will, it’s no longer seen as something just for the elderly or ill but simply part of sound financial planning for any family or individual.

With a will in place you can relax safe in the knowledge that your wishes will be carried out should anything happen to you. Making a will now also avoids legal problems arising for your family in the future. Often people assume that their money and possessions will automatically pass to their partners or children - but without a will, this isn’t always the case.

If you don't have a Will your estate will be affected by the rules of intestacy. Use our quick flow chart to see where your estate would go if you die intestate.

At QualitySolicitors Charlesworth Nicholl, our lawyers have in-depth knowledge in all areas of wills and can help you create a will that’s right for you and your family. Don’t worry if you’ve never discussed wills before - our friendly solicitors will put you at ease, explaining everything clearly with no legal jargon. We offer free initial assessment so you can have an initial chat with no obligation and with our same day response and no hidden costs promises, we make writing a will straightforward.

So whether you’d like to create a will or would just like to find out more about our will writing service, call us today on 01363 774706 to have a chat with one of our specialist solicitors.

Estate administration

Upon the death of a relative, administering their estate is an important step to undertake. In some circumstances, this is more difficult because there is no will or it is somehow invalid. We can guide you through what the right steps are.

Inheritance and tax planning

Planning ahead for when you die allows you to set out clearly who should get what from your estate. QualitySolicitors can help you think through your plans and their financial impact. Our aim is to ensure that your loved ones are cared for when you no longer can.

Making a will

For many of us, making a will is something we know we should do but never quite get round to. Of course, it’s important not to put it off and the good news is that at QualitySolicitors Charlesworth Nicholl, making a will could be much quicker and easier than you think.

Power of attorney

In an uncertain world it’s reassuring to know that our wishes will be respected even if we’re not in a position to make our own decisions. That’s why many people choose to create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) to provide protection should an accident or ill health prevent them from making decisions in the future.

Trusts

For many people, trusts are a useful way to assist in tax planning and to preserve assets. There are various types of trusts and they can be created during your lifetime or by your will.

Will and inheritance disputes

The terms of a Will can cause distress. If there isn’t one, this is difficult too. QualitySolicitors can advise on any matter where a will or inheritance is in dispute.
