Wills
If you die without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed by the rules of intestacy in force at that time. As a result, your property, investments, assets and belongings may not be shared as you would wish.
Glanvilles Wills, Trusts & Probate team can help you prioritise matters and draw your attention to questions you might otherwise overlook. For example, we can advise you on how to take full advantage of available inheritance tax exemptions and thresholds (the nil rate band). Other factors to consider may also include if you have remarried, run your own business, own a share in a partnership or private company or have assets abroad.
Partners in Glanvilles are willing to act as executors in appropriate cases.
Our fees
We appreciate that every Will should be as unique as the person who makes it. Therefore all our Wills are tailor-made to specifically reflect our client's individual wishes and personal circumstances.
