Practice Areas
Specialisations
Estate Planning
Byford Legal offers comprehensive guidance in estate planning, focusing on the preparation and execution of Wills that ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. With a clear understanding of the legal formalities involved, they assist clients in drafting Wills that protect their loved ones, provide for charitable bequests, and appoint Executors to administer their estates faithfully. They also advise on the implications of life events such as marriage and divorce on existing Wills. Understanding the consequences of not having a valid Will, Byford Legal helps clients navigate the complexities of intestacy laws to avoid unintended distribution of assets. Their approach emphasises compliance with legal requirements and capacity considerations to safeguard the validity of your Will. Clients can also seek advice on broader estate planning matters, ensuring peace of mind that their affairs are in order.
Family Law
With extensive experience in family law, I assist clients through the complexities of separation and divorce, focusing on achieving amicable agreements outside the court system whenever possible. Recognising that fewer than 5% of family disputes proceed to litigation, I guide parties through negotiation, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution methods to address financial and parenting arrangements effectively and sensitively. My approach is informed by the understanding that resolving family matters with minimal conflict often serves the best interests of all involved, especially children. I also provide clear advice on parenting matters, dispelling common misconceptions such as the presumption that mothers automatically receive greater care of children post-separation. I help clients navigate the legal principles and practical considerations affecting care arrangements, supporting both mothers and fathers in working towards fair and sustainable solutions. Whether preparing for court or facilitating agreement, my work is grounded in thorough knowledge of family law processes and a commitment to constructive outcomes.
