Different Will structures suit different family wealth structures. The type of Will that will be recommended will depend upon what assets will flow into the estate and what the Will maker is trying to achieve (eg: Asset protection, tax minimisation).

 

We prepare wills with a view to protect assets in accordance with your instructions but also in a way as to reduce any possible future claims against an Estate.
