Wills
It is essential to make a will so that your estate is administered in accordance with your wishes. If you die without a valid will your money and property will be distributed in accordance with the laws of intestacy. This may mean that your spouse, partner or dependants are inadequately provided for financially and someone you may not wish to inherit will receive some or all of your estate. If you wish to leave assets to a person with disabilities, it is particularly important to ensure your will is structured correctly.

At DHC, our services range from drafting simple wills to advising you in relation to more complicated ones to include inheritance tax planning and other specialist issues.
