Wills and Estate Planning
I have worked in Private Client law for over 25 years and have spent much of that time drafting Wills accurately so as to ensure that the needs of clients and their beneficiaries are fully met.
Some of the areas I can help you with are as follows:

Asset Protection re Care fees
I have drafted many arrangemenmts for clients looking to minimise the possible impact of care fees on their estates and to maximise the benefit their family will take in due course. Read more >
