Estate Planning

Whilst a person may generally make provision for the distribution of their estate through a Will, there is an inherent requirement that the Will is made in accordance with the law. At Alexanders Lawyers we can help you to construct an effective Will or estate plan and offer advice on the legal and practical implications of your wishes. We understand that circumstances can change over time, and we are committed to ensuring that your wishes are kept up to date, and in line with changes in your individual circumstances and the law.

We provide an affordable service, and we will assist you in making informed decisions in respect of your estate. We strive to give you confidence in the future security of you and your family.

Estate Disputes/Contesting Wills
