Hodge Jones & Allen

Planning for the future

We each have a responsibility to our family to plan ahead. That could mean writing a will so that you know your loved ones will be provided for, or setting up a trust to ensure that your estate doesn't pay more inheritance tax than it has to. At Hodge Jones & Allen, our team can help you to set up a lasting power of attorney, should you become incapacitated physically or mentally and not able to conduct your own affairs. We can also assist you with applications to the Court of Protection if someone close to you is losing or has lost mental capacity.

Furthermore, if you think a will has been changed through undue influence, or maybe a death has left you without the means of support that you were counting on, we can help you contest the will or estate.
