WILL WRITERS IN STOCKPORT

When you instruct a tax and estate planning solicitor at Pannone LLP to write a Will, your solicitor will guide you through the options available to you when drafting your Will, advising you of the tax consequences of your proposals.

A well written Will can ensure that your chosen beneficiaries inherit your estate with the minimum of fuss. Our solicitors will help you to plan for the transfer of your estate on death; taking into account your family and fiscal circumstances. Issues such as guardianship and the appointment of appropriate executors will be addressed.

Second families can be catered for via a suitable trust structure in your Will which, whilst making provision for a second partner, can ensure that children from a first relationship will ultimately benefit.

Dying without a valid Will means that your estate is subject to the rules of intestacy. Under intestacy rules, a surviving spouse or civil partner may not inherit your entire estate but may have to share it with children or with your parents or siblings. Cohabitees and step-children will not automatically benefit from an intestate estate.

At Pannone LLP, we have particular expertise in advising parents of children with special needs who are concerned about the management of estate funds after death. A properly structured discretionary trust arising on the death of the second parent can allow assets to be used for a child with special needs without jeopardising means-tested benefits.
