The protection of assets, minimisation of taxation consequences for beneficiaries
and preservation of pensions is a matter of planning, and not simply a matter of
making a will.  The use of testamentary trusts as a means of achieving these needs
is becoming an important tool in estate planning.
 
Careful estate planning can also avoid potential conflict and claims against the
estate of a deceased person.  Where conflicts do arise however, we are able to
offer experienced advice and assistance in solving those conflicts.  Where conflict cannot be resolved we have experience both in brining and defending claims. 
 
The loss of a loved one can be a traumatic time.  Our aim is to make the
administration of estates as least traumatic as possible.
