Wills, Probate and Court of Protection
With the increase in property prices, these days it is even more important to ensure that you have made your will. Otherwise your worldly goods may pass to someone you do not wish to benefit from your death. In a large family, failing to make a will could result in expensive enquiries having to be made to track down those of your relatives who are otherwise entitled to inherit on your death.

People are also living longer and may want to consider appointing someone in the family to help run their affairs if they are unable to because of illness. This can be done by creation of an enduring power of attorney but there are different types of powers that can be granted and you should take advice before giving anyone power of attorney over your property or assets.
If someone in your family has become mentally incapable of looking after themselves it may be necessary to apply to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Receiver to manage that persons affairs without which bank accounts etc. cannot be operated. This is a specialist area.
