in uncertain times
Without mentioning the “B” word it is fair to say that there is a lot of uncertainty today.
Uncertainty leads to feelings of not being in control and can lead to anxiety. There are steps
that individuals can take and we can help with to give you control of your own affairs.
Housing
The current property market can be confusing with a variety of legal obstacles. If you are looking at
purchasing or selling a property at this time but feel unsure as to how to proceed, feel free to drop in to
our offices for a no obligation appointment and we’ll guide you through this legal process professionally
and efficiently while also offering a friendly service.
Power of Attorney
During this period of economic uncertainty, it also makes sense to try and establish some form of
certainty in your personal affairs. A Lasting Power of Attorney should be considered. This enables you
to appoint Attorneys to look after your Financial affairs or Personal Health and Welfare.
Through a power of attorney, those closest to you are able to organise your financial and
health needs at a time when it can be crucial.
Wills
Perhaps it’s time that you take control of your legal affairs in order to decide how you
wish your property to be handled in the event of your death.
Without a valid will, your property may end up in the hands of those you never
intended it to fall to, passing through intestacy and potentially being dealt with
contrary to your wishes. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that you
execute a valid will that clearly disposes of your assets to those most important
to you.
Don’t let uncertainty control what matters most to you, organise your legal
affairs by ringing to book a no obligation appointment with Campion solicitors
on 0151 342 9021
Campion Solicitors is a trading name of Campion Solicitors Limited, a firm authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, SRA identification number 614811.
