Leonidas Lawyers offers comprehensive guidance in Wills and Estate Planning, ensuring clients' future interests and family dynamics are effectively managed. Understanding that estate planning extends far beyond merely drafting a will, our services provide a holistic approach. We carefully consider factors such as asset and liability assessments, potential tax implications, and the isolation and protection of assets. In addition, our team provides advice on safeguarding your estate against potential claims, and focuses on the establishment and management of discretionary trusts as part of a robust succession plan. Our approach emphasizes the ongoing nature of estate planning, adjusting to changes in personal circumstances such as marital status, inheritance, and business dynamics. We recommend that alongside a carefully drafted Will, additional legal instruments such as Power of Attorney and Guardianship documents are put in place to protect our clients in case of future incapacity. Through engaging all family members in the planning process, we aim to ensure that the younger generations' aspirations and existing assets are aligned with your objectives for sustained family security and minimised strife during trying times. Leonidas Lawyers is dedicated to crafting a tailored estate plan that addresses all of these elements effectively.
