Wills, Probate and Power of Attorney
Misha Wallis & Co. is a law firm offering wills, probate and power of attorney legal services in Blackburn and surrounding areas and across the UK.
Will writing services
Everyone has their own wishes about how they want their estate to be disbursed and to ensure their loved ones are legally protected following their passing. It is important, therefore, that your will is drawn up by an experienced lawyer and written specifically for you. Having a will also protects you from intestacy; this is where no will has been made and the estate is distributed following a set of rules that may be at odds with your own wishes and cause difficulties for the people you leave behind.
Misha Wallis & Co. lawyers are highly experienced in drawing up wills, giving you the peace of mind that your property is safeguarded and your beneficiaries will be looked after according to your wishes.
Probate services
Bereavement is difficult enough without having to deal with legal matters like probate. At Misha Wallis & Co., our experienced lawyers can help reduce the burden and take away some of the concerns you have about what can be a long and complex process.
Our dedicated team will give clear advice about what needs to be done, helping you navigate the entire process, from obtaining the grant of probate to distributing the estate in accordance with the will. If required, we can administer the estate on your behalf.
We can also help if the deceased died without leaving a will. Our lawyers will assist you with all aspects of the process, including the application for a Grant of Letters of Administration.
Power of Attorney services
A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document with which you appoint one or more people to make decisions on your behalf during your lifetime. Its primary need is to ensure that if you become incapable of managing your affairs (e.g. because of an accident or dementia) that someone you trust is given the authority to carry them out on your behalf. This can include them being able to make decisions about your property, finances, health and welfare.
Misha Wallis & Co. can ensure that your Lasting Power of Attorney works the way you want it to. We will make sure that any binding instructions, personal preferences or particular wishes are included so that your attorneys always act in your best interests.
