Satisfied Client
Yes — a will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can help avoid family disputes. Without one, your estate will be divided according to intestacy laws.
A trust is a legal structure that lets someone (a trustee) manage assets for the benefit of others. Trusts can protect assets, reduce tax, or provide for vulnerable family members. We’ll help you decide if a trust is right for your situation.
A will takes effect after death, while an LPA allows someone to act on your behalf during your lifetime if you lose mental capacity.
It depends on the complexity of the estate, but most cases take between 3 to 12 months. Cross-border estates may take longer due to international requirements.
Yes. We have Anglo-Nigerian expertise and can help manage estates and inheritance matters that involve assets or family members in both countries.
