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.

​Thirsk is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England; it is known for its racecourse, quirky yarn bombing displays and depiction as local author James Herriot's fictional Darrowby.

Archeological finds indicate there was a settlement in Thirsk around 500–600 BC. The town's name is derived from the Old Norse word þresk meaning fen or lake.

Thirsk is mentioned twice in the 1086 Domesday Book as Tresche, in the Yarlestre wapentake, a village with ten households. At the time of the Norman invasion the manor was split between Orm and Thor, local Anglo-Saxon landowners. Afterwards, it was split between Hugh, son of Baldric and the Crown.
