When someone dies, everything they owned goes to form their 'Estate.'

This includes property and money, and it will also include any business assets that the deceased owned at the time of their death.

Here at HTF Legal, our specialist probate team can help take over the probate process from start to finish, dealing with all administration matters, HMRC and the payment of inheritance tax.

No matter what industry you’re in, it’s important you keep up to date with the latest standards and best practices.

This is especially important in Law.

If you’re a Law firm with a small team, it can be tough to have the necessary training and career development schemes in place.

That’s where I come in.

I offer bespoke, in-house training around key areas of Law that will improve drafting skills and keep Law firms up-to-date with the latest developments and best-practices.

Everyone should have a will.

Wills can distribute your property, name an executor, name guardians for children, forgive debts and more.

Having a will also means that you, rather than the Government, decide who gets your property when you die.

Unfortunately, too many people pass away without leaving any instruction meaning their last wishes aren't met and estates contested.

At HTF Legal, we have a specialist team who can advise on all matters about creating a Will. Get in touch for a no obligation chat by heading to www.htf-legal.co.uk/wills

Not our typical clientele...

Last week our Director Helen was at the the Peak District Wildlife Park and even got the chance to feed the penguins.

When the bucket of fish came out, there was a real frenzy...lots of flapping, bumping into each other and chattering.

She told us how it reminded her of how some of our clients can be when it comes to their Wills or trying to deal with Estates of loved ones.

There is often a lot of panic and worry in the begin, especially when multiple family members are involved but it's our job to listen, answer their questions and ensure they get the advice and guidance they need.

A key piece of advice...

Review your Will every five years and after every major life event to see whether it needs updating.

Doing this will ensure your assets, and the important people in your life, are looked after.

When was the last time you updated your Will?

29/06/2022

HTF Legal recently won 'Best Wills & Probate Lawyers, Yorkshire' at the 2022 Retirement Planning Awards.

The whole team is over the moon to have won this award and we wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us over the past few years.

There are so many reasons why a Will is so important to draft and keep updated. Some of these reasons include:

- Ensure your children and partner are provided for financially
- Protect your partner if you're unmarried
- Avoid paying more inheritance tax than you need to
- So you can name your childrens guardians
- Decide who you would like to settle your affairs
- Head off family disputes

What exactly is probate?

Probate is the process of dealing with the estate of someone who has died, which generally means clearing their debts and distributing their assets in accordance with their Will.

If you're responsible for executing someone's Will, there are specific rules that set out how you notify the authorities and distribute the estate.

This can be very time consuming and stressful if you choose to do it yourself, especially if you are dealing with a complex estate.

Our specialist probate team can help and take over the probate process from start to finish, dealing with all administration matters and also HMRC and the payment of Inheritance tax.
