Lasting Powers of Attorney and Trusts

Lasting Powers of Attorney and Trusts can ensure your future wishes will be carried out. We can act as your Attorney or Executor if you wish.

You will need to change your Will:

• If you remarry or enter into a civil partnership
• If you become divorced or separated or end a civil partnership
• If any of your executors die or become unable to act
• If a beneficiary dies
• If the value of your estate increases substantially
• If you have children, adopted children or step-children who are not included in your current Will
• If you purchase property abroad

The Probate Process

Probate is the process that appoints someone to deal with the estate of the deceased. If there is a Will, it is lodged with the Probate Registry and the person(s) named in the Will as Executor(s) will be granted Probate (the right to deal with the estate).

If there is no Will a suitable person, usually the closest relative, will apply to the Probate Registry for the right to administer the estate. The Probate Registry will then issue the Letters of Administration. The application for Letters of Administration may also require an Inland Revenue form to be filled out and the applicant will need to attend an interview with the Probate Registry.
