Making a Will

A carefully planned, professionally drafted Will is the only way to ensure your wishes are followed when the time comes. The process of making a Will doesn’t have to be a challenge. In fact, with the help of the specialists at Slade Legal, you’ll find it nothing but straightforward, even if your circumstances are not.

Dying without a Will can lead to uncertainty for those left behind. Your loved ones may not be adequately provided for and disputes may arise. You won’t be able to leave charitable donations and you may miss out on tax minimising and asset protection benefits.

At Slade Legal, our experienced experts will advise you on the best way to word your Will so that your goals are achieved, and any concerns alleviated where possible.

Our Will making service is individually tailored and includes:

An in-depth review of your circumstances

We’ll discuss your circumstances, including any complex situations with second families, disabled children or dependent adult beneficiaries. We will guide you through your options, ensuring you have clarity on the financial and tax implications of any special provisions made. If you own a business or high net worth assets; have shared ownership of a property with someone other than your spouse or cohabitee, or assets abroad, we will take all of this into consideration. In fact, we have specific, regionally respected expertise in non-standard areas such as these.

Tax advice

If you are looking to minimise your tax liabilities or protect your business interests then you can rely on the advice of our long-term experienced specialists. We only use legally sound tax saving structures and if there are changes in the law or tax system, we will ensure you are advised appropriately as to any amendments required to your Will.

Everything attended to

When making a Will with Slade Legal, you will find all your important issues attended to, and every question answered clearly. We want you to be in a position where you feel in control and reassured that your wishes will be fulfilled when the time comes.
