Making a Will

Our solicitors recommend making a Will, or reviewing your current Will after any important changes in your personal life or financial situation; particularly when divorce or separation is a possibility. For details including considerations when making a Will, the impact of divorce or remarriage, property and what happens if you die without a Will please visit Making a Will in the UK.

Trusts

Forbes Solicitors can advise you on all aspects of Trusts in the UK, whether you want to set up a Trust fund or a Trust account. We advise on tax implications and Trust Deeds, administering or wrapping up a Trust. We also act as Trustees for our clients. For more details please visit Trusts.

UK Inheritance Tax Planning

People who were born in the UK or moved here and cut off ties with their country of birth or have lived permanently in the UK for 17 of the last 20 years are liable to Inheritance Tax on their UK and worldwide assets.  People who are not UK domiciled are liable to Inheritance Tax on the value of their UK assets only.  There are several things that can be done to minimise your Inheritance Tax liability. For more information please visit Inheritance Tax Planning.

Lasting Power of Attorney

In England and Wales a Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document allowing you to assign another person or persons to make decisions on your behalf. These are known as your "attorney/s". What’s involved in getting a Lasting Power of Attorney? See our 5 steps to getting a Lasting Powers of Attorney.
