Wills & Estates

Wills and Estate Planning

Planning for your family’s future after you’re gone is a really important legal task

If you take the time now to make an effective legally binding will, you can save your family not only stress but money in what will undoubtedly be a difficult time for them. An effective legally binding will ensures that upon your death, your assets are distributed to whom you want in the manner you want.

Kyrimis Lawyers can help:

  • Advise you in regard to estate and probate laws
  • Write a will that suits you and your estate and the benefit of your loved ones and minimises the tax burden for your family
  • Set up family and testamentary trusts
  • Advise you in regard to choosing executors and guardians
  • Minimise the chance that your will is contested and subject to litigation
  • Advise in regard to estate tax (including capital gains) and financial concerns
  • Safely store your will and other important legal documents

At the same time as considering your will we strongly recommend that you also put in place plans for any future incapacity through power of attorney and advance care directive (guardianship) documents. This will ensure that if you somehow become unable to make decisions about your finances, your medical treatment or living arrangements, then you get to choose the person(s) who you trust to make these decisions on your behalf .
