Planning for after your death is a thoughtful process and an act of legal undertaking which should be dealt with only by suitably qualified, professional people.
Most Wills have a degree of complexity which makes it essential that your personal situation is reviewed in some depth in order to ensure that your wishes are fully carried out and your dependants adequately catered for.
When foreign assets are involved it is vital that professional legal advice is obtained, both in the UK (AWG are experts in this field) and in the foreign country concerned.
In this uncertain world the preparation of a Will should be a matter of urgency for anyone that lacks one.
We can help you make your Will
- You tell us what you have in mind
- We discuss your plans with you, and help you refine them
- We give you any appropriate inheritance tax saving advice - and such advice is worth having as very substantial sums of money can be saved
- We prepare a draft Will, using clear and simple English
- You sign your Will at your convenience, no fuss or delay
Your Will should be prepared only by suitably qualified professionals
Our realistic and affordable charges reflect our expert commitment to your legal requirements, and the high level of personal service we offer.
We do provide fixed price quotations but if, as a result of the complexity of your case, it becomes apparent that the quotation is inappropriate clear information will be provided at an early stage as to the basis on which you will be charged and we will provide an estimate wherever possible.
Clients are usually told in advance how best to prepare for each meeting so that the relevant material can be dealt with quickly and cost effectively.
