Expert advice on making a Will or dealing with Probate

It goes without saying that a Will is probably one of the most important documents you will ever complete during your lifetime. It is a way to properly plan for your finances and property after you have passed away.

With death, your financial responsibilities do not end, they just change and creating a Will or making sure your existing Will is up to date, is the best way to prepare for this.

Our expert team of Wills and Probate solicitors

At Nelsons, we have a team of expert Wills and Probate solicitors in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, who:

Draft over 1,000 Wills for people of all ages every year;
Deal with the administration of many high-value estates and Inheritance Tax issues;
Advise and assist executors appointed to administer the estate of a deceased friend or relative; and
Help the family of those who die without a Will to sort out the consequences of intestacy.

Our team, which is recommended by the independently researched publication, The Legal 500, offer a choice of ways to help you when making a Will, according to how much you want to spend and how much support you would like.

Also, whilst Wills are quite personal documents and many of our clients prefer having face-to-face contact, we are able to speak to you regarding the creation or updating of a Will over the phone or other electronic means (e.g. a video call). We will talk through your circumstances and then draft the Will, which will then be sent out to you by e-mail or post for your approval.

As well as Wills and Probate, we can also help you plan how to manage your money and affairs as you grow older. We can help you with a number of practical steps to prepare for the future:

By planning for long-term residential care
Appointing someone under a Lasting Power of Attorney to manage your money and affairs in case illness or disability restricts your ability to handle them yourself

Our Wills and Probate solicitors work closely with the firm’s Independent Financial Services and Investments Advisers, and can also advise on personal tax or inheritance disputes.
