Our Legal services, Giffnock Glasgow
We provide a range of legal services that many of us will need throughout our lives. Think of us like a legal GP, helping you and your family to cope with important, and often essential, legal matters. As part of our dedication to client care, we also act as a gateway to more specialist advice if and when necessary.
Experienced Wills and Estates Lawyer
If you don’t have a Will, the law will determine how your personal possessions and assets are distributed after you’ve passed away. This can involve a great deal of time, stress and money for your loved ones, and is unlikely to mean your possessions are dealt with in line with your wishes. That’s why it’s important to write your true intentions down in a legally binding Will. Wills need to be carefully drafted to avoid confusion; they also must be signed in the presence of a witness to be considered valid. We provide a full Wills service – including providing advice on creating or updating your Will, helping you to draft the document, and keeping it safely stored.
Executry
We understand how difficult it is to start dealing with a loved one’s possessions after they’ve passed. Our executry service aims to take this burden off your shoulders. We can take care of all the necessary steps after someone has died – from registering their death to managing the distribution of their personal possessions and assets in line with their Will or in accordance with the law. We’ll make sure all the legal formalities are dealt with promptly and without problems. Don’t hesitate to contact our compassionate team to find out how we can help.
Power of Attorney Solicitors
Many people believe that creating a is something that can wait until later in life. Unfortunately, by then it might be too late. An accident or illness can happen at any time and to any of us. If you're incapacitated as a result, a Power of Attorney will ensure you maintain control over your future. A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives someone you trust the authority to make important decisions about your care and finances. Please contact us if you'd like to know more about the benefits of creating a Power of Attorney. If you decide to go ahead, we can help you write and register the document.
Guardianship Orders
If someone you care about suddenly becomes incapacitated because of an accident or illness, as a relative or close friend you can apply for a Guardianship Order to be able to make decisions about their welfare and finances. The law governing Guardianship Orders is complex, but at Claphams we’ll break it down so you fully understand what’s involved in the application process and in becoming a guardian. If a Guardianship Order is in the best interests of your loved one, we’ll assist you with your application and can provide ongoing care and support to you in your role as guardian.
