Wills Trusts & Estates

The importance of making a Will cannot be overstressed. Each Will is tailormade for the client taking into consideration his or her personal financial circumstances, family and commitments and the possible incidence of taxation and in particular inheritance tax.

After a death it is important to those who are left behind that the Estate is administered with sympathy as well as with efficiency. This involves obtaining valuations of all of the assets of the Estate, agreeing the tax liability, petitioning the Court for the appointment of an Executor or Executrix, (where appropriate) and applying for Confirmation. Thereafter with the benefit of Confirmation gathering in the assets of the Estate and administering them according to the Will or according to law as the case may be. In many cases Trusts may arise under the provisions of a Will or an Intestacy and that Trust could last for many years.
In dealing with the personal affairs of clients it is appropriate to mention Powers of Attorney and Court Orders available to enable relatives, friends, or professional advisors to administer the affairs of elderly or infirm persons who, for whatever reason, are unwilling or unable to manage their own affairs.

Accident and Personal Injury Claims

Injuries caused by the deliberate or negligent acts of a person or corporate body as a result of a breach of a statutory duty, for example employers liability, normally give rise to a claim for damages. The amount of those damages will of course vary depending upon the severity of the injuries, the actual financial losses sustained (such as loss of earnings) and the degree of impairment of future earning capacity.

We can advise you as to whether your injuries are likely to give rise to a claim and if so the merits and possible value of that claim. Negotiations can then be commenced (usually with an insurance company) to achieve a satisfactory settlement. If this is not possible we can commence proceedings on your behalf which may ultimately result in the matter being decided by a Court.
Legal Aid is normally available for such cases subject to the usual conditions.
