One thing we’ve all learnt over this past challenging year is that you never know what the future holds. That’s why having trusted solicitors to turn to for guidance is so important.
Whatever happens over the coming months, expert advice on your financial and legal affairs will go a long way in giving you and your family some peace of mind.
From organising the right legal documents (like a Will or Power of Attorney) to property matters (like handling estates), there are many ways that solicitors can help you be as prepared as possible for the future.
The experts below will be more than happy to help you put a plan in place.
Thompsons Solicitors
Thompsons Solicitors understands these are worrying times and that many are thinking about protecting themselves and their families.
Now more than ever, the importance of having a Will and Power of Attorney has never been greater. Having a Will means you can decide how your assets are divided should the worst happen and you can include instructions for funeral arrangements.
And a Power of Attorney allows a loved one to step in and protect your best interests if you become unable to.
Thompsons’ team of Private Client Solicitors are members of the Law Society of Scotland, Solicitors for Older People and Solicitors for the Elderly. That means its team has the knowledge and experience to give clear and accurate advice on the legal services which matter to clients and their families.
