FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
While it is possible to write a will yourself, a solicitor can help ensure your wishes are clearly expressed and legally valid, reducing the risk of disputes or invalid provisions.
Probate timescales vary depending on the complexity of the estate, whether there is a valid will, and whether inheritance tax is payable. Straightforward estates may take several months; more complex matters can take longer.
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. There are separate LPAs for property and financial affairs, and for health and welfare.
