Meehans Solicitors

Meehans Solicitors offers comprehensive assistance with wills and estate planning, ensuring that clients have valid Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Enduring Guardian appointments in place to safeguard their interests and provide clarity for their families. They guide clients in drafting these documents well in advance, considering the potential for challenges to a Will and advising on structuring to mitigate risk. Their services extend to tailored Powers of Attorney, including Enduring Powers that remain effective if mental capacity is lost, and Enduring Guardianships that allow appointed individuals to make personal and healthcare decisions when needed. In addition to planning, Meehans Solicitors provides support with probate and estate administration, helping Executors and Administrators navigate the legal and procedural complexities following a death. They assist with obtaining Grants of Probate, handling intestate estates under the Succession Act 2006, managing communications with financial institutions, and addressing tax implications. Their expertise also covers family provision claims, acting for both eligible applicants and Executors, to ensure fair and equitable outcomes. Throughout, Meehans Solicitors aims to minimise stress and delays during what can be an emotionally challenging time.

Meehans Solicitors have extensive experience in guiding clients through all aspects of family law, including property settlement, parenting arrangements, and divorce proceedings. They understand the Family Court’s methodical process for dividing matrimonial assets, considering contributions by each party and the future needs of parents, particularly where one has taken on primary caregiving responsibilities. Their expertise ensures clients are well informed about their entitlements and supported in negotiating fair property settlements without the need for costly court decisions. In matters of parenting, Meehans Solicitors assist separated parents in establishing arrangements that prioritise the best interests of the children, recognising that contact with both parents or significant others is often beneficial. Their approach also extends to managing the divorce process efficiently, advising clients on the legal requirements such as separation periods and the steps involved in obtaining a decree. Throughout, they provide clear legal advice tailored to individual circumstances to help clients understand their rights and navigate family law matters effectively.
