Their wills, estates and trusts team consists of lawyers and legal support staff who offer practical advice to effectively arrange your affairs to leave your estate to your intended beneficiaries and to minimize income tax and probate fee effects on your estate. Wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements and family trusts are some of the tools they use.
In estate administration matters, their team handles clients and legal matters in a friendly, efficient and discreet manner. We give advice to clients wishing to administer estates themselves or we look after every detail for clients who so prefer. We tailor our services to what each client needs.
What happens to one's property when they die without a Will?
If legally married at the time of death, the spouse of the Decedent is entitled to what is know as the "preferential share" of the estate with the balance then being divided in varying proportions, depending upon the number, between spouse and children, possibly to other family members.
If no family members can be located, then the Estate will become the property of the Crown.
