The areas of Wills, Trusts & Probate we cover include

Making a Will

At Foys Solicitors, we believe making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family and your future. A carefully prepared Will ensures your wishes are clear, your loved ones are provided for, and your estate is distributed exactly as you intend. Without a valid Will in place, the law decides what happens to your assets — and that may not reflect your personal circumstances. Our modern, straightforward approach makes the process simple, efficient and tailored to you, giving you clarity today and peace of mind for tomorrow.

Probate

At Foys, our probate specialists provide a service that is both sensitive and efficient so that you don’t have to worry about the process causing you any additional stress. We will manage the process and make sure that access to the estate’s assets are delivered to the correct recipient(s). On top of this, we’ll also inform you of what you should expect on assets that require payment of Inheritance Tax.

Letters of Administration

At Foys Solicitors, we understand how difficult things can become when someone passes away without a valid Will in place.

Setting up a Trust

An estate can include property, savings, land, investments and personal belongings — and you don’t need to consider yourself “rich” for careful planning to be important. Trusts can play a valuable role in protecting assets and ensuring they are managed responsibly for the people you care about.

Probate (Uncontested Matters) – Range of Costs

When somebody dies there is a likelihood that a Grant of Probate (or Grant of Letters of Administration if there is no Will) will be required if that person owned a property or had bank accounts that held over a certain amount of money. We will be able to advise you if a Grant of Probate (or Grant of Letters of Administration) is required.
