Protect and manage your assets in your lifetime and for the benefit of others when you have passed away.
A Trust is a fund which contains assets controlled by you and/or a nominated third party for the benefit of others. Trusts can be set up at any time and can become operative immediately (during your lifetime) or after your death.
Trusts can be used for a number of purposes. For example: to make sure that particular assets are held and managed in a way you agree with, to look after people who are perhaps already vulnerable or who may become vulnerable in the future, or to put money and assets aside until a person reaches adulthood. Trusts can also be an effective Inheritance Tax planning tool.
Governed by complex legal regulations and tax rules, it is essential to seek qualified legal advice if you wish to set up a trust.

Making sure your wishes are carried out and you are protected when no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose who will make decisions about your health, welfare and finances if you lose the capacity to make such decisions due to an accident or ill health, such as dementia.
You will constantly hear that making a Will is the single most important protection for you and your family (and this is not untrue), but using LPAs can mean that you are protected if you become vulnerable before you pass away and that it is you rather then the Court of Protection who decides who will represent you and make important decisions about your property and assets and/or your healthcare and general day-to-day welfare.

Legal assistance for executors and family members when someone has died.
Managing the estate of a deceased person (also known as estate administration) occurs through a process known as probate when there is a Will or under the rules of intestacy when there is no Will. A Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration is required in order to release assets of an estate, such as property and investments, and to settle any debts and taxes due.
The probate process can be complex and can be a particularly difficult task if you are grieving the loss of a loved one. The fully trained and qualified probate solicitors at Wellers can undertake the complete administrative process on your behalf or we can undertake specific complex tasks to assist you at your request.

For when you believe a Will is not valid or if you are concerned about the way a deceased person’s estate is being administered.
When someone dies the administration and handling of their estate can be a complex process.
If you believe there are doubts about the validity of a Will or that the contents of the Will are unfair and should be disputed, then the experienced team of solicitors at Wellers Law can help.
Similarly, a contentious probate claim can be made when there is a dispute in respect of how an estate is being managed by executors following a person’s death.
Such claims are governed by complex laws and rules and the advice and representation of experienced solicitors is essential.

For when a person cannot make decisions for themselves.
When someone loses mental capacity to deal with their affairs and there is no valid Lasting Power of Attorney in place, it will fall to the Court of Protection (CoP) to appoint a deputy who can represent them.
The Office of the Public Guardian works alongside the CoP and together these government bodies help to ensure vulnerable people have appropriate representation and that their deputies are accountable.
Wellers can either act in a professional deputy role or we can guide you through the deputyship application process and ongoing management and accounting requirements.
