Private client lawyers can help you to prepare for later life and also to provide for your family when you die. Our private client law team is here to help you to get your financial affairs in order, which might involve making a will so that your partner, children and other relations are provided for in the event of your death. On the other hand, you might be after advice to ensure that you can afford the costs of residential care in your old age or you might want to find out how to manage your property and your estate if it is valued above the inheritance tax threshold.

Having a private client lawyer can also help when things go wrong with wills, intestacy and the administration of estates. Our lawyers are able to take on contentious private client law cases where the a family member has died without making a will, or where a will has been made but where there might be disagreements over the provisions in the will or some elements of ambiguity or uncertainty. There may also be if you believe that your relative did not have their full mental capacity at the time they were drafting their will or if they were unduly influenced by another person.

Our private client lawyers can help you with a range of legal issues you might be faced with. Our approach to private client law is focussed on providing our clients with top quality legal advice to help them to manage their affairs, or those of living or deceased relatives. Here at Canter Levin & Berg Solicitors our private client lawyers can help you when it comes to drafting a will, dealing with the process of obtaining Probate, executing a will, the administration of a dead person’s estate and also with matters concerning the care of living relatives.

The professional expertise of a private client lawyer can help you to avoid many of the problems commonly encountered by people when dealing with this area of law without the benefit of professional legal advice. Particularly common issues our private client lawyers come across can include problems in a will that may make it invalid or that may cause unexpected problems if family members have been left out unintentionally. Affording care in old age, whilst also safeguarding your home, is another area of private client law that can cause confusion for people who don’t have a private client lawyer working for them.

If you are dealing with the estate of a relative who has recently passed away, you might find things a lot easier with expert legal advice from a private client solicitor. Dealing with Probate can be a difficult and time consuming process and even if the deceased person left their estate in good order and there are no complications, you might still find that the probate process can take a long time. A private client solicitor can help you if you have been made responsible for the Probate process after a relative has died.

For more difficult situations, such as cases of Intestacy, getting the right legal advice from a private client solicitor becomes even more important. Intestacy comes about if your relative dies without having made a Will. They are then known as an intestate person. Intestacy carries with it a set of rules that govern how the property of the dead person should be shared out amongst his or her living relatives. If you are the administrator of an Intestate person’s estate then you can be held responsible for any mistakes made when it comes to deciding who receives what. Private client solicitors can help you to avoid making mistakes when dealing with cases of intestacy.
