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.
The City of Leeds is a city and metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. The metropolitan borough includes the administrative centre of Leeds and the towns of Farsley, Garforth, Guiseley, Horsforth, Morley, Otley, Pudsey, Rothwell, Wetherby and Yeadon.[4] It has a population of 793,139 (mid-2019 est.), making it technically the second largest city in England by population behind Birmingham, since London is not a single local government entity. It is governed by Leeds City Council.
The current city boundaries were set on 1 April 1974 by the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, as part a reform of local government in England. The city is a merger of eleven former local government districts; the unitary City and County Borough of Leeds combined with the municipal boroughs of Morley and Pudsey, the urban districts of Aireborough, Garforth, Horsforth, Otley and Rothwell, and parts of the rural districts of Tadcaster, Wharfedale and Wetherby from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
For its first 12 years the city had a two-tier system of local government; Leeds City Council shared power with West Yorkshire County Council. Since the Local Government Act 1985 Leeds City Council has effectively been a unitary authority, serving as the sole executive, deliberative and legislative body responsible for local policy, setting council tax, and allocating budget in the city, and is a member of the Leeds City Region Partnership. The City of Leeds is divided into 31 civil parishes and a single unparished area.
