Estate Planning

If you are preparing your will, we can inform you and your intended beneficiaries of any CAT liabilities that will arise as a result of each proposed bequest so that you can take account of these costs in drafting your final Will document. 

Equally, we can advise anyone who is in line to receive an inheritance of the CAT liabilities which will arise and steps which can be taken to minimize them.
