Hempsons provides a diverse range of legal services for individuals and their families and our lawyers are particularly experienced in dealing with professional practitioners personal needs and can cater for their specific requirements, understanding the sensitivity and empathy with which these situations need to be handled.

Key Services and Issues

• Wills and tax planning to ensure that your personal affairs are arranged in the most appropriate and tax efficient manner.
• Probate administration where it is recognised that a sensitive approach is imperative in minimising the distress this can cause.  Comprehensive and impartial advice is given, whether or not we are acting as executors, to ensure the process is dealt with as swiftly and tax efficiently as possible.  Full support can also be given in the event that disputes arise where the need for sound commercial advice and experience is essential.
• Our lawyers also advise on the setting up of trusts, for example for tax reasons or to help protect a disabled or vulnerable child.  We are also happy to act as a trustee where required.
• We are also able to assist with the growing need to put in place financial and welfare arrangements.  The team can advise on all types of Powers of Attorney including Enduring Powers of Attorney and Lasting Powers of Attorney and on applications for Statutory Wills and Court Orders to vary personal or trust assets of a member of the family who is no longer able to give such instructions themselves.
• Where the advice required impacts upon the professional life of the client, we are able to offer this against the background of an understanding of the issues which are significant (such as the valuation issues relating to the sale of a share of surgery premises) and which may have a bearing on the overall stance adopted.
