Soden Legal

Our estate planning services encompass a comprehensive approach to securing your financial and personal interests for both present and future circumstances. One significant aspect we address with our clients is the establishment of Powers of Attorney. This legal provision permits you to appoint a trusted individual to manage your financial affairs in situations where you are unable to do so yourself—be it due to extended travel or diminished mental capacity. We provide expert guidance on selecting an appropriate primary and substitute attorney, ensuring that the nomination process aligns with your specific needs and values while guaranteeing that all necessary documentation is flawlessly executed and legally robust. In addition, our firm offers detailed assistance in drafting legally sound Wills. With a valid Will, you ensure that your estate is distributed according to your wishes, preventing the complexities and emotional difficulties associated with intestacy. Our legal team specialises in ensuring that your Will is not only comprehensive and personalised but also adheres strictly to the legal requirements necessary for its validity. Whether appointing an executor, detailing asset allocations, or securing safe storage for your Will, we provide the necessary legal acumen to safeguard your legacy. At Soden Legal, we are committed to assisting you in making informed decisions about the future distribution of your property, minimising risks, and providing peace of mind to you and your loved ones.
