Planning for what will happen to your estate is not just for the super-rich. It applies to anyone who has assets they want their loved ones to benefit from. Wills & Probate solicitors in Porthmadog are vital for people who find themselves in a position like this.

The two main aspects of estate planning are making a Will and choosing an executor. Writing a Will sets out how you want your estate to be distributed, while Probate is the process of executing those wishes. Our Wills & Probate solicitors in Porthmadog are able to deal with both aspects.

Making a Will

If you own assets of any notable value, it is essential that you make a Will. The absence of a Will for a deceased person is known as dying intestate and it creates very real problems. Intestacy rules mean that government legislation determines how assets are distributed, and your loved ones can face a long and stressful legal battle to fulfil your wishes.

Making a Will is particularly crucial if you are not in a civil partnership or marriage with your partner. That is because non-married partners do not have the same property or inheritance rights. The simple act of getting Wills & Probate solicitors in Porthmadog to write a legally binding Will for you will ensure your loved ones do not lose out.

Estate Probate

Probate is the process of administering the estate of a deceased person. A solicitor can be appointed as the estate executor, which allows them to handle that. The process requires the executor to secure a Grant of Probate, sort out all necessary paperwork, and make sure all assets are distributed in line with the Will.

Appointing Wills & Probate solicitors in Porthmadog will take the pressure off bereaved family members and guarantee that your estate is administered in compliance with the law.
