Most people know that they should do a Will, yet the vast majority avoid dealing with the task - perhaps simply because they don’t know where to begin with a seemingly overwhelming number of decisions.

The Wills and Estates team at Windsor Law Group will answer all your questions in plain language, and always endeavour to make your estate planning as straightforward and effortless as possible.

For instance, as well as assisting you with drafting your Will, we can help you determine whether you also need a Power of Attorney for financial reasons or a Representation Agreement for Health Care to ensure someone you trust will follow your wishes when you can no longer make decisions for yourself. Many people don’t realize that the Representation Agreement has taken the place of what was previously known as a “Living Will”. Our clients often take advantage of our estate planning package which includes a Will, Power of Attorney, and Representation Agreement, so they can relax with all their estate planning bases covered – and save some money in the bargain!

In the event that you find yourself appointed as Executor of someone’s estate, we will be pleased to assist you through the Probate process, or, alternately, if someone passed on leaving no Will, an application for Letters of Administration. We will carry you through from the first steps after the funeral to attaining the Grant of Probate; and after receiving the Grant, we can help with the devolution of assets (where our Conveyancing team can take over to deal with real estate and other personal property transfers or sales), distribution of bequests, and all finalizing steps including clearances and final releases.

Whatever combination of services you require, Windsor Law Group’s Wills and Estates team will be there when you need us.
