PRIVATE CLIENT
Will Check List
If you would like to make a Will, or to discuss making a Will, it helps to prepare for the discussion before you contact your advocate at Collas Day.
Hastings-Bass: The International Dimension
The principle in Re Hastings-Bass (1975) provides that where trustees fail to consider issues or take into account matters when they ought to have done so in exercising their discretionary powers, the courts (on application) may deem such exercise of their power void or voidable.
Wills
It is commonly the case that people put off making a Will or are slow to amend their Will as circumstances change.
Probate
"Probate"" is a term commonly used as a generalisation for what ought more properly to be called a "Grant of Representation". Such a Grant authorises a person to administer and manage the personal estate of a person who has died.
Estate Administration
"Estate Administration" is the administering of a deceased person's personal assets after their death.
Guardianship
A Guardian is a representative of a person who is considered to be incapable of handling his or her own affairs.
