Wills
Accord have written thousands of Wills over the years.
A basic Will merely gives you a say in what happens to everything you own. The ‘Right’ Will can protect your assets and your loved ones and prevent delays, expense and heartache.
Your future… your choice!
We can advise you of all of the available options tailored to your individual circumstances. You will have all the information you need to select the type of Will that you feel best suits you and your family’s needs.
When it comes to your family’s future, YOU know what’s best. Accord can help put it in writing.
Lasting Power of Attorney
An essential but often overlooked document is the Lasting Power of Attorney. In the event of you becoming seriously ill, falling into a coma or if you can otherwise not reliably make your own decisions, an LPA will ensure your affairs are kept in order.
This simple document entitles an attorney of your choosing to handle your affairs for you when you’re incapable of doing so. Your attorney can be anybody you like, including close friends and family members.
An unforeseen, sudden illness such as a heart attack or stroke or having an accident and being in a coma could affect your ability to make your own decisions. Accessing someone’s finances in these situations is often a complex and protracted process if they do not have an appointed attorney – which could make things very difficult for a spouse, partner or your children.
LifeTime Trusts
The Estate Protection Trust – A highly specialised Trust, which not only protects your home, but your savings as well, offering unmatched flexibility. This type of Trust is suitable for everyone, whether you’re single, married or divorced, a married couple, unmarried couple or in a civil partnership; this Trust will protect you and your loved ones.
We are specialists in protecting people’s assets – we can help you plan for your future to ensure that as much as possible goes to those you love.
All of the assets held within this type of Trust are held for your benefit whist you are alive. You can move, re-mortgage, downsize or release equity at any time. If you also place savings into the Trust, you still have access to those savings and can even add more (subject to tax and financial advice).
If you change your mind and want to bring the Trust to an end, you may do so. The Estate Protection Trust really is that versatile, and gives you the peace of mind that your assets held in the Trust can easily be accessed should you so require.
Probate
Let us carry the burden of Probate and Estate Administration
Dealing with someone’s affairs after they have died can be extremely complicated, confusing, and may take months to finalise. This causes more heartache and anxiety at an already distressing and emotional time. Let us help you through this difficult period.
Whether you simply need advice on the next steps to take in dealing with the estate of a loved one or are looking for someone to carry out services on your behalf, Accord are here to help.
