Our Will solicitors and estate planning lawyers will protect your assets.
As experienced Will solicitors and estate planning lawyers, Gallaghers understand that your family and loved ones are the most important part of your life. To avoid unnecessary pressure and strain on those you care about when the time comes, we advise that you have your Will and estate plan prepared before you pass away, to ensure you know they will be protected and your assets are not being distributed to the wrong people.
For many people, making decisions around succession after someone’s death can be both a challenging and confronting time. It can also raise some questions and concerns about how to protect your loved ones when you’re gone and often, the larger or more complex your estate, the more daunting it may seem.
As an adult, a Will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign and although you can prepare your own, you may need advice that is tailored to your financial situation and family circumstances. Talking to experienced Will solicitors is recommended to ensure you are up to date with current legislation and everything is valid, minimising disputes in the future. That’s where we can help.
Our compassionate team is warm and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment to make those confronting decisions, find solutions unique to your circumstances, and leave you with confidence and peace of mind that you are making the right choices. We’ve been doing this for a long time and have a deep understanding of the emotions that arise; we always do our very best to shoulder the burden with you.
Contesting a Will or Estate Plan
Unfortunately, there can be messy situations where disputes about Wills and estates come to light and cause distress to the family. Contesting a Will or an estate is common, and our experienced will solicitors can help you through that process too.
There have been times when we have stepped in to help clients who believe an estate hasn’t been administered properly or there has been a dispute as to the validity of a document. Litigation in these areas tends to be quite emotional for all parties involved and for this reason, can become complicated. Having a professional advising you during these times can be comforting.
