Wills/Power of Attorney - we normally love to meet our clients face to face but we are encouraging telephone and video call appointments to take instructions for your new Will. When it comes to signing the Will, we’ll send the Will to you and fully explain the signing process to make sure your Will is legally valid. Face to face appointments are also availabale.
Probate - we have a long history of helping families deal with the legal and financial aspects following a bereavement. It’s important to get the right legal advice as soon as possible. That’s why Barwells offer a free initial consultation over the phone with one of our specialist probate lawyers for executors appointed under a Will following a death. Our lawyers will make sure that you know exactly what the next steps are, what pitfalls to avoid, and offer reassurance and guidance following a bereavement.
