Estate Planning Lawyer

W​hat 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 Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham is a metropolitan borough of South Yorkshire, England. It is named after its largest town, Rotherham, but also spans the outlying towns of Maltby, Swinton, Wath-upon-Dearne, Dinnington and also the villages of Rawmarsh and Laughton. A large valley also spans the entire borough. Locally known as the Rother Valley.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the County Borough of Rotherham, with Maltby, Rawmarsh, Swinton and Wath-upon-Dearne urban districts along with Rotherham Rural District and Kiveton Park Rural District.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is one of the safest Labour councils in the United Kingdom, although the number of Labour council seats dropped from 92% to 79% in 2014 following the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal.[2]
