Wills, LPAs and Probate
With the only things certain in life being death and taxes, it’s a fair bet that at some point you’ll have to deal with the distressing loss of a loved one and the sometimes-bewildering legal processes involved in administering their Will and Estate.
It’s also something you should think about during your own lifetime; what will happen to your assets when you pass away, and how will they be handled by your loved ones?
The support and guidance of a Private Client lawyer can be invaluable in putting your planning in place or enacting the instructions of a loved one after their death – however straightforward or complex their estate might be.
The Private Client team at HMG is our largest specialist department, helping families in Oxfordshire for almost 200 years. A knowledgeable, friendly team of experts, including Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) qualified practitioners, we offer plain-talking advice on everything from Wills to complex multi-jurisdictional estate management, contentious Probate to establishing Powers of Attorney.
As lawyers we understand that no two estates are the same, and will require differing levels of assistance (and a tiered pricing structure to reflect this). As human beings we also know how devastating a time this can be for a family. Our calm, discrete and sympathetic team will translate the jargon and guide you through all the legal hoops, providing individual advice tailored to your specific needs and circumstances – as well as an arm around the shoulder if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
