Wills, Trusts & Probate

We have significant expertise in dealing with wills, trusts and the administration of estates and understand the importance of helping you to organise your affairs as efficiently as possible.

No one likes to think about their death and what they’d want to happen to their assets. Sadly, dying without a properly drawn will can cause a great deal of wasted time, unnecessary expense and heartache, as well as hassle from disputes that could easily be avoided.

Our service takes you through all the relevant things you need to think about as well as drawing up a will that really reflects your wishes. We can help whether you need a single will for a modest estate, or if your affairs are more complex with both personal and business assets to consider.

How we can help

Many people avoid paying for a will by using other methods, but often this can be a false economy – we’d be happy to explain to you why.

We can advise and assist you in relation to disputes which may arise following the death of a family member or in relation to the administration of an estate. We can also advise in relation to claims for financial provision from an estate under the Law of Succession Act, CAP 160 and in relation to the removal of executors/personal representatives and trustees from their positions should issues arise. Hassan Luk Dispute Resolution team can assist you in determining which dispute resolution process will best suit your needs.

A power of attorney is a legal document which allows you to appoint up to 4 people of your choice to make decisions on your behalf, should you ever become unable to do so yourself or would simply like to have help managing your financial affairs.             ⇾
