Kit Kotak
Very professional and guided us through the process very well. Quick turn around and cheaper than other quotes we had received.
Maureen Martin
Fred helped my husband and myself write new wills and also organised Power of Attorney for both of us. He came to the house where we thoroughly discussed what we wanted. He was very professional and explained things very clearly. He always called back to answer any questions that we had if he wasn’t available to answer our phone call. Would certainly recommend him.

I found the home visits much easier to deal with than over the phone. Fred came out to see us at our home and we arranged our will and lasting power of attorney . I would be happy to refer Fred to friends and family. One thing that I found was that I felt better, peace of mind if you like. More...

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
YES - We are able to take instructions remotely through Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings.
I use a secure platform for any documentation (sent to you or received)
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As with all cases we are ensuring that we carry out the relevant capacity checks before we proceed taking instructions and that this will be recorded on the instruction form.
We have put in place Zoom and Microsoft Teams video calling as this will enable us to confirm that the client is who they say they are. Where this is not possible, such as we are taking the instructions by telephone, we will need to be assured that we are speaking to the testator (the client).
Record any other persons who may be present whilst taking the instructions – ask the client this question and record it on the instruction form.
We have put in place a method in order to check the clients ID (Driving License, Passport of Utility Bill within the last 3 months) to prevent impersonation of the testator.
We are using Egress (this is a secure facility) or the post when sending personally identifiable information to clients.
We are asking clients to complete a basic questionnaire prior to the instruction taking, via a telephone call. This will enable us to check the facts.
When taking instructions for a couple, we will ask to speak to both clients to ensure that the instructions are the wishes of both.
We will also send out useful information leaflets out to the clients to guarantee that clients are properly informed and fully understand, particularly where trusts are involved.
We will retain all information, including file notes and the instructions as we normally would and for the same length of time as face-to-face meetings.
We have adapted our terms of business to reflect the way we are working.
Wills
Having a Will ensures your wishes will be respected when you are no longer around.
Leave money and personal belongings to the people you wish it to go to
Plan your funeral arrangements
Confirm who will look after your children in the event of you not being here
Pass on ownership of a property without any hassle
Without a Will, your assets will be divided according to the law, which may not meet your wishes. If you are unmarried, your partner may not get any of your assets.
We can review your existing Will:
Have you recently got married?
Are you divorced?
Are you living with your partner?
Do you own your own home?
Have you got children?
Lasting Power of Attorney
Property and Finance - Allows your chosen person to handle your bank accounts, investments, bills and property in the event of loss of mental capacity. Without an LPA, any joint accounts you hold with your partner could become severely restricted.
Health and Welfare - Covers decisions about your health and care.

Probate and Estate Administration
With and without a Will- What is Probate?
It's a legal document that is submitted when a person dies.
It can involve sorting out all claims, distributing assets left in the Will and making sure all legal and financial affairs are in order.
Probate is needed before any administration of the deceased's estate can start.

It’s important to understand what will happen to our estate if we die without a Will.
We probably all understand that we should have a Will but the reality is that most of us don’t have one. In fact, it’s suggested that around two thirds of the population in England & Wales don’t currently have a valid Will in place.
Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death. If you have not made, or do not have a valid Will, your property will pass according to the Law of Intestacy. This may not be what you would have wished. In any event it is likely to take longer to finalise than if you had made a Will. During this time your beneficiaries may not be able to draw any money from your estate and it can lead to arguments and distress for your relatives.
It is advisable that you review your Will every 2-5 years to take into account any changes in circumstances.
