Will Writing

Writing a Will is a crucial step in securing your family’s future and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. At Rucklidge Law, we understand that every individual has unique circumstances and preferences. Our expert Lawyers take the time to understand your specific needs, providing tailored advice and drafting a Will that reflects your intentions clearly and accurately. 

Whether you have a straightforward estate or more complex arrangements involving trusts and overseas assets, our team is equipped to handle all aspects of Will writing. We recommend you review your Will regularly to ensure your Will remains up-to-date with any changes in your personal circumstances or legislation.

Lasting Power of Attorney

Planning for the future includes preparing for the possibility that you may become unable to make decisions for yourself. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose physical or mental capacity. At Rucklidge Law, we guide you through the process of setting up an LPA, ensuring your chosen representative understands your wishes and their responsibilities.

There are two types of LPAs: Property and Financial Affairs, and Health and Welfare. Our Lawyers will explain the differences and help you determine which is appropriate for your situation. By establishing an LPA, you gain peace of mind knowing that your affairs will, where possible, be managed according to your preferences, even if you are unable to communicate them.

Probate

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is challenging, and navigating the probate process can add an additional stress during this difficult time. Rucklidge Law is here to ease that burden by offering comprehensive probate services. Our compassionate team assists Executors and Administrators in managing the legal and financial responsibilities associated with probate, ensuring the process is as smooth and efficient as possible.

We handle everything from obtaining the grant of probate to managing the distribution of the estate, addressing any issues that arise along the way. Our goal is to provide clear, practical advice and support, allowing you to focus on grieving and remembering your loved one.
