Estate Planning Lawyer
What is estate planning and what is the role of an estate planning lawyer?
Estate planning is the process of preparing for the management and distribution of your assets after your death.
It involves making legal arrangements to ensure that your wishes are followed and that your estate is handled efficiently and in accordance with the law. This can include drafting a will, setting up trusts, minimising Inheritance Tax, and appointing power of attorney.
An estate planning lawyer (or estate planning solicitor) is a legal expert who helps individuals navigate these processes, offering advice and ensuring that all legal requirements are met.
They provide invaluable support in organising your estate, protecting your assets, and ensuring that your family and loved ones are taken care of according to your wishes after you’re gone.
By working with an estate planning lawyer, you ensure that your estate is structured in a way that reduces the burden on your loved ones, and avoids complications in the future.
What does an estate planning solicitor do?
An estate planning solicitor provides comprehensive legal advice tailored to your specific needs in managing and protecting your assets, both during your lifetime and after.
Their role goes beyond just drafting a will. They ensure that all your estate planning documents and decisions align with your wishes and comply with the law.
Devizes (/dɪˈvaɪzɪz/) is a market town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It developed around Devizes Castle, an 11th-century Norman castle,[2] and received a charter in 1141. The castle was besieged during the Anarchy, a 12th-century civil war between Stephen of England and Empress Matilda, and again during the English Civil War when the Cavaliers lifted the siege at the Battle of Roundway Down. Devizes remained under Royalist control until 1645, when Oliver Cromwell attacked and forced the Royalists to surrender. The castle was destroyed in 1648 on the orders of Parliament, and today little remains of it.
From the 16th century Devizes became known for its textiles, and by the early 18th century it held the largest corn market in the West Country, constructing the Corn Exchange in 1857. In the 18th century, brewing, curing of tobacco, and snuff-making were established. The Wadworth Brewery was founded in the town in 1875.
Standing at the west edge of the Vale of Pewsey, the town is about 10.5 miles (16.9 km) southeast of Chippenham and 11 miles (18 km) north-east of the county town of Trowbridge. It has nearly five hundred listed buildings, some notable churches, a town hall and a green in the centre.
