The department renders the following services:

ESTATE PLANNING


Planning your affairs, particularly the structure of asset ownership, to provide for your and your family's needs, to ensure that your estate is as tax efficient as possible and that the administration of your estate proceeds smoothly.

An estate plan is essential for each and every client and can be as simple as drawing a will, but may include an assurance analysis, tax planning and establishment of trusts.
It is essential to put into place or revise an estate plan when you acquire / sell assets or your family circumstances change.

DRAFTING AND UPDATING WILLS

Ensuring that your will is in line with your estate plan, meets the needs of your unique family circumstances and is regularly updated to keep abreast of changes in your own circumstances, your family's circumstances and current legislation is both advisable and wise.

Your will is a very personal and extremely important document - it will determine how all the property you have accumulated during your lifetime is dealt with when you die. The drafting and finalising of this document should be entrusted to professionals. Your attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to assist you in this regard to ensure that your will is both valid and enforceable.
