Wills are a vital component of your personal and business assets, demanding careful planning and deliberation. Our team is prepared to assist and advise you in the formulation of your Will, determining the responsible party for your Estate (Executor) and the receivers of your assets (Beneficiaries), particularly considering circumstances like blended families, children with disabilities, and life changes.

The process of creating a Will is important to assure that all your loved ones are accommodated, and your assets are disseminated as per your desires upon your departure.

While making a Will can be intimidating, our team can guide you through every step to reduce the risk of someone challenging your Will. A Will is normally challenged if a family member was left out of the Will or were not left enough. Other types of claims can also arise from lack of capacity, undue influence, and breach of trust.
