To help you start 2017 as you mean to go on we’re offering an exclusive package to clients wanting to get their house in order.
Throughout January and February we’re offering clients the opportunity to write their will, draw up a Lasting Power of Attorney and prepare a severance for £550 + vat. This would normally cost £760 + Vat, so it’s a very healthy saving of £210.
Many people don’t like to think about making a will because it reminds them of their own mortality, but it’s important to make arrangements so that you know your estate will go to the people you want to have it, rather than who the law states should get it.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that gives someone else the right to act for you and make decisions on your behalf should you lose capacity to do it yourself. With dementia now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, many people are setting up LPAs to avoid the prospect of strangers making decisions about their way of life if their mental capacity starts to fail.
A severance enables you to leave your share of a property to someone other than the person you own the property with. This is often popular with people who are joint tenants who are unmarried or in a second marriage.
If you want to talk to someone about taking up this package, we offer a free, no obligation consultation to help you understand the legal requirements of administering your estate. You can make an appointment to see us any one of our branches or, if it’s easier, we’ll come you at a time that’s convenient for you.To help you start 2017 as you mean to go on we’re offering an exclusive package to clients wanting to get their house in order.
