Harwood Andrews Lawyers’ Wills and Estates practice is highly experienced in the preparation of wills, including mutual wills and more complex wills, which can include testamentary or special purpose trusts, protective trusts and life interest trusts.
The transfer of your assets according to your wishes in the event of your death takes careful evaluation and insight.
We work with our clients to understand each client’s genuinely individual circumstances. We subsequently advise on the best way to secure the passing of a client’s wealth to future generations.
Our practitioners are highly skilled in defining our clients’ wishes and drafting clear documents that ensures their estate is transferred to their beneficiaries as they intended.
We simplify complex issues for our clients so that they can truly understand the impact that their will or trust will have on their beneficiaries.
Our thorough evaluation takes into account considerations such as the tax-effective passing of assets and minimising risk associated with future disputes over the distribution of assets.
The use of testamentary trusts is becoming increasingly important in succession planning for our clients. Depending on a client’s circumstances, a testamentary trust may be beneficial in the preservation of their assets.
Our practice assesses each individual’s position and helps to put in place a structure that efficiently distributes their wealth to their chosen beneficiaries.
