When you think of an accountancy firm, what comes to mind? Tax returns? Financial audits? At Withers Steele, our services go beyond the typical offerings. We can provide two essential services for our private clients that you may not have expected from an accountancy firm — will writing and probate services.
Will Writing Services
Writing a will is one of the most critical steps you can take to protect your legacy and ensure that your wishes are respected. A well-drafted will provides clear instructions about the distribution of your assets, helping to prevent potential disputes among your loved ones. Here are a few key reasons why will writing is essential:
- Protect Your Loved Ones: Ensure that your family and friends are taken care of according to your wishes.
- Avoid Legal Complications: A legally sound will helps in avoiding unnecessary legal disputes that can be both time-consuming and costly.
- Control Over Assets: Specify exactly who gets what, including valuables, heirlooms, and financial assets.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your affairs are in order gives you and your loved ones peace of mind.
At Withers Steele, we take a personalised approach to will writing. Our experienced professionals work closely with you to understand your unique circumstances and wishes. We ensure that your will is comprehensive, legally binding, and reflective of your personal values and goals.
Probate Services
Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away. It involves validating the will, paying any debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. While this process can be complex and daunting, it is essential for several reasons:
- Legal Validation: Ensures that the deceased’s will is legally recognised and executed as per their wishes.
- Debt Settlement: Addresses any outstanding debts and taxes, protecting the estate from legal complications.
- Asset Distribution: Facilitates the fair and orderly distribution of assets to the rightful beneficiaries.
Navigating the probate process can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Withers Steele offers comprehensive probate services to guide you through every step. We handle all the necessary paperwork, communicate with relevant authorities, and ensure that the probate process is completed efficiently and accurately. We aim to make this challenging time easier for you and your family.
