HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you’ve contacted us, we talk about what will happen next, perhaps a meeting to go through things… how would this suit you best?
Would you prefer a meeting at your home, at our office… or an online talk via Zoom?
When we get together, we talk about what you need, so we understand your aims, then we can suggest various options to enable you to achieve your goal in the best and most cost-effective way – This is about your priorities and needs above all else.
Wills, various Trusts, Lasting Power of Attorney and Inheritance Tax planning, just some of the things that we can go through.
We can help explain options for digital data storage that will ensure that all personal and sensitive data is securely stored for you to access during your lifetime and then by your executors when the time comes.
It’s good to know that we also provide a Free Will and EPA/LPA review service.
