Wills and Powers of Attorney
What do we do?
Often people assume that their money and possessions will automatically pass to their partners or children – but without a will, this is not always the case. So, by making a will now it will avoid legal problems arising for your family in the future. At Silks our lawyers have in-depth knowledge in all areas of wills and can help you create a will that’s right for you and your family. Don’t worry if you have never discussed wills before – our friendly solicitors will put you at ease, explaining everything clearly with no legal jargon.
It is a fact of modern life that we are living longer and sometimes are ability to handle decisions can become impaired. A Lasting Power of Attorney to cover different types of decisions; financial or personal, can be invaluable if this should happen. We can advise you as to the suitability of any proposed appointment and the responsibilities of any attorney you may appoint. We can guide you sensitively and knowledgeably through the whole process and ensure everything is validly registered and able to be used if necessary.

To do this, we promise to explain complex legal matters in plain and simple English, provide you with regular updates on your matter and give you clear guidance on our fees, so there are no nasty surprises.
