Wills and Probate

The death of a loved one is an upsetting experience that each of us will face during our lifetime. The legal aspects involved in dealing with the administration of the estate can be overwhelming, confusing and often stressful. Having compassionate, experienced legal advice will make this difficult situation much easier for you and the beneficiaries of the deceased’s estate.

We are aware that administering an estate comes at a time of grief and high emotion, and that you may not know the processes and legal requirements. We will use clear language and keep legal jargon to a minimum.

We will explain at the outset what the costs are likely to be and also give you a clear time estimate for dealing with the administration of the deceased’s estate. We will carry out your work in a timely manner, keeping you fully informed of progress and will respond promptly to your enquiries. We will notify you if we think that either the costs or time estimates have changed so that you can be confident we are handling matters for you in a cost effective and efficient way.

Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is very useful if you lose the capacity to manage your affairs and sadly that may not only be a consequence of old age. None of us can guarantee what tomorrow will bring, so it is wise to make a Lasting Power of Attorney before it is too late!

There are two types of LPA:

Property and Financial Affairs LPA – this gives your chosen attorney(s) authority to deal with your property and finances. If you so wish your attorneys can also act in such capacity for you while you have mental capacity which may be particularly useful if mobility is lost or becomes limited.



Health and Welfare LPA – this gives your chosen attorney(s) authority to make decisions about your personal welfare, such as daily care and medical treatment. Your attorneys can only act in such capacity if you are unable to make the relevant decision yourself.

No LPA can be used by your attorney(s) without it first being registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. Regler and Company can guide you through the process of making an LPA and ensuring the document is registered correctly.
