Despite being difficult, it’s important to consider every eventuality and appropriately prepare for your death to ensure your assets pass to your loved ones. By working with specialists in wills and probate, you can ensure your estate is passed on to your spouse or children.
As members of the Solicitors for the Elderly, our experienced team will go above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. Thinking about your death can be a very challenging time, but you can rest assured knowing that we offer the best service to help you.
Trust funds
A trust is an agreement where assets are held by a trustee for the benefit of another. A trust fund can be highly beneficial for your family and is a key way to protect your assets. Our team will manage the establishment of your trust, dealing with paperwork, taxation and ensuring the fund is paid to the beneficiary after your passing.
Trusts can be established while a person is still alive or added to a will. Reasons to set up a trust fund could be to leave money to children who are too young to use it or to leave a gift of money to someone to be used for a specific purpose. It could also just be to safeguard your family’s inheritance.
Power of Attorney and Probate Lawyers
Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to plan what should happen to you and your estate if you become unable to make these decisions. This can help if illness or old age incapacitates you and will ensure that your wishes are respected no matter what.
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney:
Health & Welfare - This enables your attorney to make health-related decisions on your behalf.
Financial - This allows your attorney to deal with your investments, sell property, have access to your bank accounts and more.
Without a Lasting Power of Attorney, if a person has lost the capacity to act on their own behalf, an application needs to be made to the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy to act on their behalf. P J E Solicitors can help with this application and provide the Deputy with advice once appointed.
We also advise on the process of dealing with an estate following a death. This is known as Probate, where the executors will undertake their role in managing the deceased’s estate. Our team can guide you through all the stages in this situation, providing our professional and personal support to ensure fairness.
