Two new documents have been created that came into affect from 1st October 2007. These replace the Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) and this document cannot now be created, though those created before 1st October 2007 will still be effective.

The two new documents cover powers to give to someone else (your attorney) to act on your behalf. One document covers powers to act on property and financial matters, and the other on health matters. Both these documents are more complex than the EPA's they replace and we can give you guidance on them.

Please see the Institute of Professional Willwriters web site for the reasons for having an English Will.

If you are married, have registered your Civil Partnership, have children or want to dispose of your assets as you wish, then you must make a valid Will.

If your estate (or your joint estate) is greater than £275,000 then you will need Inheritance tax planning.

If you are worried about the cost of long term care, then you need advice about what steps you can take to reduce the financial burden.

We will come to your home or other convenient location to take your instructions – either in England, Wales or Spain.
