Family and Matrimonial Law.
Sometimes, family relationships don’t work out in the way we might have hoped. At MCT, we recognise that any difficulty experienced within the family unit can be extremely hard to handle.
Wills and Estate Planning.
It is essential to make a Will to ensure that the people close to you are provided for and that you decide how your assets are dealt with and by whom. A correctly drafted Will can also reduce tax and administrative costs, as well as ease the stress and responsibility placed on loved ones after you pass.
Lasting Powers of Attorney and Advance Decisions.
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) documents allow you to decide who should make decisions on your behalf should you lose the capacity to manage your affairs in your lifetime. It is the formal legal authority needed to make decisions on your behalf as, contrary to popular belief, your loved ones or next of kin will not automatically be legally entitled to act for you.
Trusts.
Trusts prepared in your lifetime or as part of your Will dictate how your assets are utilised by your beneficiaries and can also be used as a part of tax-efficient estate planning. However, the legal and tax consequences of trusts and the practical requirements are potentially complex.
Probate and Estate Administration.
The death of a loved one is an emotionally difficult time and dealing with the legal and tax formalities that follow can be challenging. If you are appointed as an executor of a Will, or a close family member has died without having made a Will and you are needed to act as administrator, we can help.
