Advance Decisions (Living Wills)

Advance Decisions legally refuse certain treatments if capacity is lost, while Advance Statements guide care preferences, helping healthcare providers respect personal values and lifestyle choices.

Deed of Variation (DOV)

A Deed of Variation lets beneficiaries alter a will post-death for tax efficiency, redirect assets, or include overlooked individuals, within two years.

Shari`a Compliant Islamic Wills & Trust

Shari'a law encourages Muslims to write wills, allowing one-third for charities or non-relatives, while the rest is divided among family, with potential tax inefficiencies.

Trust Registration

The UK Trust Registration Service requires most trusts to register and report beneficiaries, with taxable trusts confirming records annually and non-taxable trusts updating within 90 days.

General Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney allows someone to manage your affairs if you’re unavailable, while proper will storage ensures executors can access documents easily.
