Wills and Estates
We can provide assistance on the following:
Drafting wills. This is a very important document as you decide who you want to inherit under your will. It is also vital to address the issue of who will look after your children in the event that something happens to you. As your assets and circumstances change it will be necessary to review and change your will to ensure that it is up to date.
Administering estates. We can help with those closest to the deceased in dealing with their estate whether there is a will (testate)or no will (intestate).
Advising on succession and estate planning. We can identify the most tax-efficient way of dealing with the transfer of your assets.
We also advise in the areas of Enduring Powers of Attorney and Wardship.
Litigation
We provide assistance in relation to District, Circuit and High Court matters including but not limited to the following areas:
Personal Injuries: we have experience in advising those who have suffered an injury caused by car accidents, work-place accidents and public liability accidents from Injuries Board stage to court.
Defamation: if your name and reputation has come under attack through the publication of a falsehood you may have an action in the area of defamation. We have considerable experience in the area of defending these rights.
