Wills & Probate support in Reading
RG Law provides Wills, Probate and estate-planning support for clients in Reading and the wider RG postcode area. The right legal step depends on the situation. A straightforward Will is very different from an intestate estate, and an LPA serves a different purpose again. We start by identifying the actual objective before preparing paperwork.
How We Can Help
• Making a new Will or reviewing an existing Will
• Probate applications and grants of representation
• Full or partial estate administration
• Intestacy where there is no valid Will
• Lasting Powers of Attorney for financial affairs and/or health and welfare
• Inheritance-tax paperwork, estate accounts and beneficiary communication where required
How It Works
1. Initial review: We identify the legal task, the people involved and the documents already available.
2. Clear plan: You receive a practical explanation of the next steps, responsibilities and likely stages.
3. Legal work: We prepare documents, make applications or coordinate estate administration according to the agreed scope.
4. Completion: We confirm when the relevant work is complete and explain any final actions you or the executors need to take.
Frequently Asked Questions – Reading
What if I do not have all the documents yet?
You can still contact us. Start with what you know and what documents you have. We can then identify what is missing, what is important immediately and what can be gathered as the matter progresses.
Can you help with inheritance-tax paperwork and estate accounts?
Where these are required as part of the agreed probate or estate-administration service, we can help gather the information, prepare the relevant paperwork and explain the figures and next steps.
Can you help with inheritance-tax paperwork and estate accounts?
Sometimes, but the right approach depends on the changes you want to make. We can review the existing arrangements and advise whether a new Will or another form of update is more appropriate.
Do I need a Grant of Probate in every estate?
No. Whether a grant is needed depends on the assets, how they are owned and the requirements of the organisations holding them. We can review the position before an unnecessary application is made.
Can you help with Lasting Powers of Attorney?
Yes. We can help with Property and Financial Affairs LPAs, Health and Welfare LPAs, or both, and explain the choices involved before the documents are prepared and registered.
