Inheritance law is complex, and no two estates are the same. This is why a good will requires good advice. We have the extensive expertise and experience you need in the fields of will writing, probate, tax planning and trust management.

Our team combines this knowledge with an understanding approach to create a will tailored to your specific needs. When you die your estate is distributed in one of two ways. If you do not have a will, it must be distributed in accordance with the law.

However if you do have a will your estate will be distributed in accordance with your wishes – literally, according to your will.Therefore, if you want to decide how your estate is distributed, it is vital that you have a valid will.

What can we do for you?

If you would like to make a will, or change your existing will, then Graham Dawson & Co can do this for you.

Your will can be as simple or as detailed as you like. You can, for example, make individual specific gifts and leave the rest of your estate to:

• one person
• several individuals
• groups of people
• charities, organisations etc

You can make an outright gift or a gift subject to a trust so that it can only be used according to your wishes. We can advise you on how best to minimise the tax burden on those to whom you leave your estate, as well as:

• who to appoint as your executor(s) (the people who administer your estate)
• inheritance tax avoidance or reduction
• the appointment of guardians for children
• situations in which a trust could be beneficial
