The importance of making a will cannot be overstressed. It is well known that approximately 70% of the population have not made a will (although most people confess it is on their ‘list of things to do’). With the increase in house prices over the last few years, it is crucial that you have an up to date will in order to ensure that your property, possessions and affairs are dealt with in the way that you want. By making a will you can control how your assets are handled and ensure that your specific intentions are carried out.

Our wills are tailor made to suit you, taking into account your personal and financial circumstances, family and commitments, as well as the possible incidence of inheritance and other tax.

Making a will at Standley & Co is simple and our friendly and approachable legal team are happy to guide and assist you in any way possible.

We are also able to advise on Living Wills (or Advance Directives as they are otherwise known).

Most of us acquire assets throughout the course of our lives. Even a small amount of professional time spent in this area can prove a worthwhile investment.

At Standley & Co our experienced legal team can advise you on whether your estate is likely to suffer from inheritance tax and help you take steps during your lifetime to reduce or even eliminate your inheritance tax liability.
