Probate practice involves advising and guiding people in settling their affairs, making their Wills and planning for events after death. It also includes the work required after a death, in ensuring that the wishes expressed in a Will are carried out, that the beneficiaries obtain their due inheritance and effecting the change of ownership of property where that is required. It can be a most difficult time and again we at Neil J. Butler & Co. believe communication with you, the client, is of paramount importance.

In making ones Will, issues can arise as to guardianship for young children in the event of the death of both parents in an accident, the nomination of trustees to take the assets until the children are old enough, tax advice and the implications of setting up such trusts and so forth. Of necessity, it must include the clearest information being made available by the client so that the best possible understanding can be delivered to the professional advisor and thus the most appropriate advice given.
