Gowen & Stevens LLP

First and foremost you want to make sure that, in the event of your death, your assets pass to the right people in a way which causes the minimum of administrative fuss. A well drafted Will can make that happen while a poorly drafted Will can take years to administer, causing upset, stress and a lot of expensive administrative work to put it right as far as it is possible to do so. Gowen and Stevens will make sure that you have a properly drafted Will and they achieve this by taking the time to find out about you, about those close to you and about what you want to achieve and combining this with excellent technical knowledge.

The importance and desirability of protecting your assets against unnecessary and avoidable charges to tax highlight the very real need to obtain clear and accurate advice on this complex subject. Gowen & Stevens will liaise closely with other professionals, particularly accountants and financial advisers to make sure that you receive a rounded service looking at your needs from a tax perspective as well as simply a Will drafting one.

Gowen & Stevens can advise older clients and their relatives over the difficult questions of accommodation and daily costs of care in old age.
