Myers & Co Solicitors in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire understand that protecting your inheritance and making sure your estate goes to the correct people after you die is of the utmost importance.
To guarantee that your money, property and personal possessions go to the people you want them to, it is recommended that you make a will. Not only does this protect your inheritance, it can also be a useful way of planning for the amount of inheritance tax that will need to be paid.
