Our Services
Nothing is certain in life and you know the needs and requirements of those you care about better than anyone else. For these reasons, it is critically important that you carefully record your wishes regarding your estate and the provision that will take effect on your death for those people who are important to you, in a legally effective manner.
Whether that’s making a Will to ensure your assets are left to those of your choosing, estate planning to ensure your hard earned money doesn’t end up in the hands of the Government, appointing an attorney to protect your property and best interests should you find yourself in a position where you cannot control them yourself.
The private client and older person’s advice team at John Hodge Solicitors are specialists in this complex area of law and will work with you to ensure your wishes are fully respected. They offer sympathetic, straightforward advice about your responsibilities and role as a personal representative should you need help in administering an estate.
