Wills & Estates

We all accept that one day we will die. If you don’t have a will when that day comes, your assets could be distributed contrary to the way you otherwise would have intended.

What is a will? A will is a legal document which ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you die. 

Your will can cover your assets such as your house, land, car, shares, bank accounts and other property.

We warn against the temptation to attempt to draw your own will. There are many pitfalls for the unwary, which can lead to failure of a will. If you prepare your own will you do so at the risk of causing emotional and costly battles amongst relatives. This is because a number of legal requirements must be met for a will. Failure to follow may invalidate the will. If this occurs, the law may determine you have no will. 

Wills can and do bring about a range of emotions. However, at Porter Hulett we strive to take the worry out of the Administration of Estates at a time of great distress for our clients by the speedy resolution of the Estate and our attention to detail.

We look after all matters including;

We are willing to visit our elderly and infirm clients for the purpose of taking instructions for Wills and Powers of Attorney and executing these documents once they have been drawn up.
