Making a will is an essential part of planning for your future and ensuring your wishes are respected. At Annie Egan & Company Solicitors we guide you through the process of creating a will that clearly sets out how your estate will be managed and distributed after your passing.
Without a will, your assets may be distributed according to the rules of intestacy as outlined in the Succession Act 1965 rather than your personal wishes which can lead to complications and delays for your loved ones. We provide expert advice to ensure your will is valid and reflects your intentions. Whether you are appointing guardians for you minor children under your will, managing your Estate through trusts, providing for a vulnerable loved one or addressing specific family needs, we work with you to draft a will that offers you peace of mind.
An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become mentally incapacitated. This ensures your financial and personal affairs are handled by someone you choose, safeguarding your interests should you lose the ability to manage them yourself. Having an EPA provides peace of mind, knowing your wishes will be respected. We guide you through the process, ensuring the document is legally valid and tailored to your specific needs, giving you control over who will manage your affairs.
A Decision Support Agreement allows you to appoint a trusted person to assist you in making certain decisions without handing over full control. It is designed for individuals who may need support with specific matters but still wish to maintain autonomy over their own decisions. We can help you create a legally binding Decision Support Agreement that outlines the scope of assistance you require, ensuring your preferences are respected while receiving the help you need. This agreement empowers you to stay in control while having the right support in place.
Estate planning is essential for managing your assets efficiently and ensuring they are distributed according to your wishes. Estate Planning involves carefully considering the nature and extent of your assets to include foreign assets and creating a comprehensive strategy for your financial and personal affairs.
At Annie Egan & Company Solicitors we work in tangent with other qualified professionals experienced in Estate planning and cross jurisdictional estate issues to ensure your wealth and assets are preserved for future generations. We assist you in developing an effective estate plan that incorporates diverse strategies to ensure your estate is distributed and managed according to your wishes and provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Probate is the legal process required to manage and distribute a deceased person’s estate. This includes validating the will, addressing any outstanding debts and ensuring that assets are distributed according to the deceased’s wishes. In certain cases where there is no Will it may be necessary to extract Letters of Administration Intestate to deal with bank accounts or property assets and in other more complex matters an Executor named under the Will may not be available to extract a Grant of Representation.
We provide comprehensive support throughout the probate application process, whether testate, intestate or more complex estates from advising as to the appropriate steps to take, filing the initial application for a grant to handling estate administration tasks. You can be assured that we will handle the process efficiently and accurately, providing clarity and peace of mind during a challenging time.
