Inheritance Protection covers safeguarding a person’s assets and entitlement to an estate so they are preserved for rightful beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews wills, sets up protective trusts and lifetime gifts, and advises on strategies to minimise disputes and tax while ensuring valid formalities are met. They also assist with protecting or recovering assets from challenges to a will, and coordinate probate or estate administration to prevent erosion of the intended inheritance.
