At LexCounsel, we help you protect your legacy with personalized wills and probate services. Whether drafting or updating a will, creating a corporate will for business succession, or navigating the probate process, our team ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, providing clarity and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
A will is an important legal document that outlines an individual’s final instructions regarding the distribution of their property and the care of minor children after their passing. Without a will, there is no guarantee that your estate will be distributed according to your preferences, and the court may determine how your assets are divided.
The probate process is the legal procedure that allows an estate to be administered in accordance with a valid will. The individual named as the executor in the will must apply for a Grant of Probate, which is necessary to carry out the distribution of assets and fulfill the terms of the will.
Our Law Firm offers services in:
Creating and Updating Wills: We can help you draft a comprehensive will or amend an existing one to reflect your current wishes. Additionally, we assist with adding codicils to update your will without the need for a full rewrite.
Corporate Will: We offer specialized services to create corporate wills for business owners, ensuring that both personal and business assets are managed according to your wishes after your passing. This includes planning for the succession of business interests, minimizing tax liabilities, and protecting the interests of stakeholders.
Applying for Probate: If you’re an executor or estate trustee, we assist with the legal application process required to confirm the validity of a will and grant the necessary authority to manage and distribute the estate according to the deceased’s wishes.
