Assured Legacies

We are primarily a family run independent company specialising in all aspects of estate planning. Whilst fully appreciating that the matters we deal with are not the most thrilling to discuss we are only too aware of the trauma and hardship that can ensue if they are not dealt with in time. In consequence all our advisors are fully experienced in dealing thoroughly with any situation whether straightforward or the most complex.

When a person in this country reaches the age of eighteen the Government does something for us with hardly anybody realising it. So if the government has already written everybody a Will why is it so important to write one yourself? If you have no children or parents you can't stop your estate going to your siblings or aunts & uncles.

My husband was superstitious about making a Will he said he didn't need to anyway as it would all come to me. Now I've had to sell the home we had built up together to pay off his brothers and sisters who hadn't even spoken to him for over twenty years. I'm struggling to make ends meet.

We were told that we should make a Will and that my partner should appoint me as a guardian to our children as we weren't married but we thought we had plenty of time and kept putting it off.Now I'm having to fight my dead partner's sister for custody of my children and they are all I have left. If only mum and dad had realised the problem they were leaving behind I'm sure they would have acted.
