Wills, Powers of Attorney, Estates & Tax Planning Lawyers Yorkshire
Does your Will reflect your current circumstances?
Did you know, for example, that a later marriage revokes any existing Will you may have made? We can help ensure that any young children are looked after and that you avoid any surprises, upsets or the paying of unnecessary Inheritance Tax. We offer fixed fees for straightforward Wills and amendments plus a reduced price for couples instructing us simultaneously.
How would your affairs be handled if you were unable to manage them?
If you were not able to act due to mental or physical incapacity then a Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to deal with matters on your behalf. Our private client team will advise you on the appropriate planning measures which allow your family or others to assist. Powers of Attorney are offered for a fixed fee.

Ware & Kay recently prepared a will for me. A job I had been putting off for a very long time as I thought it was going to be complicated. They (Ian and his team) made it completely straightforward and stress free. They also turned it around quickly. I liked dealing with all the people at W&K ... they were friendly and helpful and not at all intimidating. Would definitely recommend. - Sally Rasmussen
