Wills & Probate
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
At Murray Hay Solicitors, our team are here to guides clients through wills and probate matters with clarity and dignity. We ensure wishes are recorded and estates are settled properly across central London, to give you and your benefactors peace of mind.
Will Preparation
We offer tailored advice on estate planning and will preparation, focusing on tax efficiency and ensuring your estate is distributed according to your wishes. We cover trusts, executor and trustee duties, and review life policies and pensions to optimise your estate planning while considering assets in the UK and abroad.
Obtaining Probate
We guide you through obtaining probate, helping to manage the legal and administrative tasks after a loved one’s death. Whether fully handling the estate or advising on specific steps, we prepare inheritance tax forms, administer trusts, and deal with the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration tailored to your needs.
Power Of Attorney Services
We advise on and prepare various Powers of Attorney, including Property and Affairs, Health and Welfare, General, and Trustee Powers. Additionally, we assist with Living Wills and Advance Directives, helping you plan for future decisions with confidence and ensuring your wishes are respected should you lose capacity.
Court Of Protection Applications
We assist with applications to the Court of Protection for appointing a Deputy when someone has lost mental capacity and has not appointed an attorney. Our support ensures the proper management of their financial and personal affairs, providing peace of mind during a difficult time with clear guidance through the legal process.
Trusts Advice And Preparation
We provide advice on creating lifetime trusts and handle all related legal documentation. Our service includes managing reporting requirements to HM Revenue & Customs, ensuring your trusts comply with current legislation and meet your long-term financial and family planning goals efficiently.
Intestacy Advice And Administration
If a person dies without a will, intestacy rules apply. We advise on these provisions and assist in administering the estate accordingly. Our support helps families navigate this complex area with sensitivity, ensuring the estate is distributed fairly and in compliance with the law.
