Planning now to protect yourself and your loved ones for the future is essential. Here at Thornton Jones, we offer expert, bespoke advice in relation to the preparation of your Will, estate planning and Lasting Powers of Attorney. Our specialist solicitors also help and support families through the probate and estate administration process, taking away the burden and complexity of what can be an incredibly difficult time for those involved.

We can quickly and simply prepare a Will on your behalf which will not only ensure your loved ones receive an inheritance, but can also appoint guardians for any minor children.

You may also need specialist tax planning advice when making your Will, and we can help with that too.

It can also be wise to consider giving Power of Attorney to a trusted relative or friend in the event of you becoming incapable of managing your own affairs due to accident or illness.

Your spouse may not inherit everything you own if you do not have a Will, other people including your children may have a claim too, and this can cause serious problems in the event of your death.

Cohabitees in particular need to be aware that their partner is not their next of kin without a Will, and may receive nothing at all from their estate.
