Interesting Matters
1. Administering estates of business people who have died “in harness” and saving inheritance tax.
2. Some profitable and complicated property deals and advising clients with regard to these.
3. Michael often helps clients who find it difficult to prepare their Wills – this can sometimes be particularly difficult for couples whose relationship is not their first. Thinking through the provisions in a logical manner can frequently avoid huge heartache for those left behind as well as giving peace of mind to the clients making their Wills.
