I recently used MWQ to obtain PoA. The initial explanation from Darren was very clear and he got back to me very promptly when I need clarification on a couple of things. I was kept informed of the progress of my application at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending MWQ to others. More...

Really great at the start when explaining how it works and the costs etc. but impossible to get hold of, or get a response from, once the money had been paid and initial paperwork completed. A truly frustrating experience, that took an excessively long time. We are not using for the 2nd POA we need to put in place as don't feel we have been looked after once process started. More...

Last Will and Testament
Most of us don´t have one, in fact two thirds of the population in England and 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 you pass away. If you don’t make a valid Will, your property will pass under the Law of Intestacy which may not be what you want and is likely to take longer to finalise. During the time after you pass away your beneficiaries may not be able to draw money from your estate and deal with your estate which can cause distress to your loved ones. A Will can benefit everyone regardless of your situation, whether you are single, married, a parent or retired, creating or updating your Will is something that you should consider doing. We create take you through the process of creating or updating your Will step by step, providing you with best advice, and creating supporting documents where necessary to solidify your intentions regarding your wishes.
Lasting Power of Attorney
Creating Lasting Power of Attorney means that your loved ones can deal with financial affairs and/or healthcare decisions on your behalf in the event that you lose capacity or are unable to make these decisions for yourself. Did you know that one person in the UK develops Dementia every three minutes, but their loved ones aren’t allowed to just walk into the bank to access money, even if it is to pay for your care. Even Martin Lewis OBE has said that creating Lasting Power of Attorney is incredibly important. By setting up these two legal documents, you allow a loved one or trusted friend to deal with your bills, bank accounts and property or to make decisions about life sustaining treatment, care arrangements or decisions about how you live your life. The alternative to setting up Power of Attorney is for your family to apply to the courts for Deputyship to be able to make these decisions for you once you have lost capacity and this process can be long, stressful and expensive. Whilst Deputyship applications are a service we do provide, we would always recommend setting up Power of Attorney whilst you have capacity as it will save you and your family time, money and a lot of unnecessary stress at a time. Setting up Power of Attorney gives you protection so that you know in the unfortunate event that you do lose capacity, your affairs will be in order and your wishes will be carried out during your lifetime.
Trusts
Trusts can be used as part of your Estate Planning to protect your assets and can be set up on death in the Will or during your lifetime. Trusts are normally created to protect the property as this is often the biggest asset. Trusts set up for the property have a great number of benefits including protecting your children from disinheritance, ensuring that your property is managed well, ensure that loved ones are protected and keep a roof over their head after you pass and to protect it from third parties. We work on best advice and look at each individual situation to provide a trust solution best suited to you and what you are looking to achieve.
Probate Assistance
When a loved one passes away, it is a very emotional time and we appreciate that there is a lot that you need to deal with. This is why we offer a service to help you with some of the legal matters that you need to deal with. The service we provide is to assist you with obtaining a grant of probate or the letters of administration depending on whether or not your loved one left a Will. By getting this documents from the courts, you are given permission to deal with their assets. It is important to go through this process as it ensures that there are no problems for you and others in the future and that all assets can be dealt with officially.
Court of Deputyship Assistance
In the event that your loved one did not create a Lasting Power of Attorney during a time when they had capacity to do so, you may need to apply for Deputyship to be able to assist them with matters relating to both finances and healthcare decisions. We are here to help you through the initial process of preparing an application to the courts. We want to be able to help you get the wheels in motion and get you on the way to being able to help your loved one. The process of obtaining Deputyship is a long one and can be very stressful as you may be asked to attend court hearings to confirm your intentions. By starting the process in the right way, it will make the overall journey much smoother. Although we do really hope that Power of Attorney is set up, we are here to help if it hasn´t.
Safe Storage of Legal Documents
We offer lifetime storage for to protect your legal documents. You may, understandably, think that storing your documents are safe at home. But what happens should the worst happen such as fire, burglary or flood? Your documents will be stored in an underground professional storage facility which protects your documents through temperature and humidity control, protection against flooding and fire, bar coded registration for easy retrieval, monitored by CCTV and limited access by staff enforced by secure entry. As part of the offer, we will also register any Will that you chose to store, with The National Will Register, a UK wide database and is the first place any legal professional will check should an Executor not be able to locate the Will. This would usually come as an additional cost but we absorb this cost for you as our valued customer.
