Losing someone we love is probably the most emotionally traumatic
experience that will ever befall us during our lifetime. The thought
of living the rest of our lives without the ones we love is as about
as emotionally traumatic as it will get and one thing that is certain
is that care, sympathy and personal service will always be essential.
There can be no substitute for properly trained professional staff
capable of taking the burden from the shoulders of the bereaved.
More often than not one spouse will endure the responsibility of
ensuring that financial matters are dealt with within the family
and often when there is the loss of a spouse there can exist a feeling
of desperate isolation and a great fear of being left to deal with
such matters oneself. Perhaps the administration of a person's estate
ranks as the most burdensome of tasks. The pace of development in
funerals is rapid and the needs of the bereaved are constantly evolving
thus there is always the demand to stay one step ahead. The administration
of an estate is something that still needs to be conducted by those
who specialise in the field of the law and can often be a legal
minefield. To mention the taxation implication issues is only one
example.
Clearly this is a job that demands the services of specialist lawyers.
The probate department of Sinclairs solicitors has been established
with the ability to service clients on a nation-wide basis with
usage of modern technology headed by senior solicitors with over
70 years experience between them, Mr. Griff Morgan and Mr. Russell
Jenkins.
It was the appointed solicitors to the now dissolved Funeral Standards
Council and has established enormous success working with the funeral
industry.
Why make a will?
Many of the complications involved in administering estates and
indeed family disputes could be minimised if there is a carefully
drafted will. It is often dangerous to use standard forms as they
can be no substitute for taking proper advice. Do not leave until
tomorrow something you can deal with today to ensure that there
is peace of mind. It is a sad fact that people die, but it is perhaps
a comforting thought to ensure that those that we leave behind are
well cared for. Contact our probate department by contacting either
Mr. Griff Morgan or Mr. Russell Jenkins for help and advice in this
important area of the law.
Some of the main questions you should ask yourself before making
a will are: -
- What would happen if both husband and wife died together in
an accident?
- What would happen to the children?
- What about the possessions, how would they be distributed?
- Who should be the executor?
- What about taxation implications?
It is important to remember that Wills need to be reviewed regularly.
The law frequently changes in relation to inheritance and tax. It
is important to ensure that you take proper advice regularly.
