No one can predict the future...

Writing a will and planning your estate can feel like a daunting experience. It’s not something many people talk about and there is a lot of stigma and sadness around discussing what happens when you die.

The truth is it is one of the most loving things you can do for your family and friends.

Having all the right plans and legal documents in place for when you pass away makes a painful and challenging time that little bit easier for those you leave behind.

...but we can help you plan for it.

Putting your wishes down in a legal document can seem very final. The pressure to make important decisions now about things that might change in the future can be overwhelming – and you’re right; it doesn’t make sense!

That’s why we don’t just write your will; we provide a lifetime service.

With Countrywide Tax & Trust, we help you create a flexible plan that reflects your wishes now and can be easily updated in the future. We are committed to listening to your concerns and understanding your changing needs, so you always have the right planning in place.

Our advisers help you with:

  • Advice on will structures including trusts
  • Choosing the best estate planning options for you
  • Choosing executors for your will
  • Understanding probate
  • Planning for later life care
  • Business succession planning
  • Inheritance Tax (IHT) advice and relief
  • Leaving gifts to beneficiaries and charities
  • Guardianship for minors and dependants
  • Creating Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)

Guiding you through the process

Planning your estate is often a complex process and may take some time. You might not have all the information you need right away.

Not just a will

Many people think of writing a will as a one-off task; in reality, your planning needs change throughout your lifetime.

Events like the birth of a child, long-term illness, or divorce, can affect the decisions you’ve made and may mean you need to revise the plans you’ve put in place.

At Countrywide Tax & Trust, we understand this; that’s why we provide you with ongoing expert advice, giving you the option to review your will and update your planning as often as...
