Gifts in wills covers the specific gifts a person makes to others in their will and how those gifts take effect after death. A solicitor helps ensure the gifts are valid, clearly drafted and legally enforceable, taking into account tax, the residue of the estate and potential claims against the estate. They draft or check the will, prepare probate or estate administration documents, and handle any disputes or challenges to the gifts, communicating with executors and beneficiaries throughout.
Where a solicitor protects your position
Gifts can be challenged or misinterpreted, with potential tax consequences if not drafted correctly. A solicitor provides protection by ensuring valid dispositions, precise wording, correct appointment of executors, and clear guidance on potential challenges, tax reliefs, and the treatment of gifts within the estate.
