Isherwood and Hose have a reputation for expertise in all areas relating to Wills, Probate, Court of Protection and Powers of Attorney.

From basic wills to more complex Wills we are experienced throughout this field of law and can offer comprehensive advice to cover all your needs.

PROBATE

When someone has died, we can offer a thorough and professional service together with a sympathetic approach to help you at this stressful time. We can assist you following the death of a loved one in the process of administering their estate. We are able to deal with all aspects of the Probate process in relation to an estate and are happy to provide any information or assistance regardless of the value of the estate.

We can assist in obtaining a Grant of Probate if the person concerned died leaving a valid Will or obtaining a Grant of Letters of Administration if the person died without a Will. 

We can obtain the information in respect of the assets and liabilities to be paid by the estate, complete any tax returns to submit to HMRC, particularly, Inheritance Tax Forms and arrange the payment of the same. Collect in the assets and discharge the liabilities before making payment of the monies due to the beneficiaries. 

We will liaise with the Executors, Administrators and the Beneficiaries and complete the administration of the estate to make the matter as smooth as possible in what is a difficult time for any family.

LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY

What would happen to your financial affairs if you suffered a stroke or were injured in an accident whereby you were incapable of managing your own affairs?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a document which would enable someone close to you to handle your affairs and to sign any documents that are necessary on your behalf without having to involve the Court of Protection to appoint a receiver of your affairs and, therefore, at a much lower cost.

COURT OF PROTECTION WORK

If someone has lost their mental capacity and a Lasting Power of Attorney is not in force, then we are experienced in making applications to the Court of Protection for the appointment of someone to handle the financial affairs of anyone who is no longer capable of doing so.

ELDERLY CLIENT SERVICES

We offer a specialist ECS Department which meets the needs of elderly clients or their relatives.
