| Vincent Sykes & Higham LLP has a wealth of experience in acting in the wide variety of matters than can arise when someone dies, either with a will or without. Many of our clients have, in the past, been farmers and the administration of estates involving land or farming interests is something with which we are particularly familiar.
As with other areas of the firm, our Department offers a personal and accessible service, preferring to see the clients and go through matters with them, and then using letters, faxes and e-mail once the initial contact has been made and the relationship is established. Every situation is different, and experience and professionalism ensure that every client’s need is met in the best possible way.Our solicitors are trained to be sensitive to the emotions of the family, while at the same time giving sensible and accurate advice. All our fee earners in the Private Client Department are encouraged to attend courses and become members of professional bodies to ensure that such advice is up to date and accurate.
Our advice does not end with the administration of the estate, but can extend to advising the beneficiaries on tax planning or their own will drafting and we even offer a financial service to advise beneficiaries on how best to use any money they may have inherited (assuming it is not already earmarked for their own purposes!). The possibility of rewriting the deceased’s will can be discussed if appropriate. |
