Advanced Estate Planning Guide
Over the last 10 years or so there has evolved an increasing responsibility for Solicitors and other advisors to ensure that clients are aware of the legal solutions available to protect their Estates (current and future assets) and give effect to their Estate Planning intentions.
Notwithstanding, many Solicitors and other advisors continue to adopt a basic approach to Estate Planning only and do not offer any service to address Advanced Estate Planning considerations and solutions.
Testimonials
We’ve both been extremely happy with her professional yet friendly service.
Linda Hackney came recommended to us by a close friend. After meeting with Linda and choosing her to represent us in our family law court case, we’ve both been extremely happy with her professional yet friendly service and although our court case is still ongoing we recently had the blessing of a very positive experience when our case went before a Judge for the first time. We can not thank Linda enough for the outcome on the day and we look forward to continuing to work with her as our case continues before the courts.
