Having a Will means that after your death your wishes as to how your estate and property will be distributed will be followed.
If you do not have a Will then the Rules of Intestacy will apply and your estate and property will be distributed in accordance with those rules regardless as to whether those rules are fair to you and your family or what you might have wanted.
For very moderate fixed cost Clive Wood of CGW Law can prepare a Will for you and provide sensible and practical advice to minimise the potential Inheritance Tax burden on your estate after your death.

None of us like to think about this but the importance of a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) cannot be underestimated for your peace of mind and that of your loved ones to cover any future crisis.
There are now two basic types of Lasting Power of Attorney: one of which deals with your property & financial affairs and the other with your health & welfare.
Under each type of LPA you appoint an Attorney or Attorneys to look after your affairs in the event that illness or accident renders you incapable of managing your own affairs.
