| Our Private Client Group is able
to offer private individuals and their families expert advice
on a wide range of matters.
Whether it is a family matter, preparing tax efficient wills
and trusts, administering estates, dealing with lasting powers
of attorney or Court of Protection work, we work closely with
clients. We provide a personal and responsive service and
take a close interest in our clients’ welfare.
Goodman Derrick LLP recognises the particular importance
to the private client of personal contact and continuity.
Clients develop a strong link with the firm and their contact
partner is responsible for ensuring that our services to the
client are delivered swiftly and efficiently.
We advise on a wide range of matters:
- Wills
We are able to offer expert advice on the preparation of
Wills to give effect to our clients’ wishes in the
most tax effective way. If it is appropriate, a partner
can be appointed executor.
- Probate and Administration of Estates
We have wide experience in obtaining probate including dealing
with the estates of non-domiciled persons and assets overseas,
claiming tax exemptions for heritage property and advising
on variations of the Will. We are able to deal with contested
applications for probate and challenges to the Will.
- Trusts
We establish trusts both in the UK and offshore and can
work closely with other professional advisers to achieve
our clients’ objectives.
- Powers of Attorney
Many clients prefer to make their own arrangements as to
who should manage their affairs if they are no longer able
to do so themselves. We can advise on lasting powers of
attorney and if appropriate, act as the attorney, either
alone or with other family members.
- Court of Protection
We can register enduring and lasting powers of attorney
with the Court and have experience in dealing with contested
applications to register, applications for statutory Wills
and receiverships.
