A Will sets out exactly what you want to happen to your property and assets once you die and allows you to choose who you would like to deal with your affairs after your death. You can leave specific gifts to loved ones and friends and make charitable gifts. A Will allows you to make provisions for any children or other dependents you may have, for example, your Will might set out who you want to care for your children in the event of your death.
It is important to make suitable arrangements for yourself and plan for the future. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document allowing you (the Donor) to choose someone (the Attorney) that you trust to make decisions on your behalf. Your Attorney can make decisions in relation to your property and financial matters or your health and welfare at a time in the future when you may no longer be able to make these decisions for yourself.
If a relative or friend lacks mental capacity and has not previously created a Lasting Power of Attorney, you can apply for a Deputyship Order to deal with their property and financial affairs. Whether you are looking for advice on the making of Lasting Powers of Attorney, or in the making of an application to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a Deputy, we can assist you.

I had the pleasure of using this firm during my recent house move. The service I received was efficient,informative and professional at all times. I would like to thank in particular my solicitor Jamie Marsden who handled my affairs promptly and was very supportive. He answered all queries within a few hours and was always willing to speak to me buy telephone.
I would highly recommend this firm to others...Thankyou
