Introduction to Wills & Probate

At The Merriman Partnership we can advise on:

• Making or amending a Will at any time
• Handling the estate (the property and assets) of another person after death
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Advice on retirement and savings

To many people, the thought of making a Will is just being pessimistic, as the concept of death, and the responsibilities it entails are not urgent issues, but this is a very important matter which should be addressed as soon as possible.

Making a Will is about providing for your loved ones in the event of your death, by appointing executors, (people whom you trust to ensure that the terms of your will are carried out after the date of your death) to identify and value all of your assets and debts, make an application, if required, for a grant of probate, to settle your income tax affairs and pay any debts, pay any inheritance tax due on your death, and to carry out your instructions as set out in your will.
