Plan, Protect, Prosper Services for you We know that running a busy practice is challenging. Few GPs have the time to properly manage personal legal matters. This can impact on the efficient running of your practice and, ultimately, on patient care. Weightmans’ full service legal provision is designed to provide you with the comfort that comes from having your affairs in order across both your professional and private life. Residential conveyancing Buying a home is often the largest financial commitment we make. We can guide you through the process from start to finish, whether you are buying, selling, or transferring ownership. As your children grow up, how will they take their first steps on the property ladder? If you decide to gift or lend some of their property’s purchase price, it’s important to protect your investment – particularly if your son or daughter is buying the property with a partner. We can protect your contribution by setting up a loan agreement and charge, or a declaration of trust. We can help with: House sale and purchase Remortgages Transfers of equity Trust deeds and declarations of trust Equity release Auctions sales Loan agreements and charges Wills and estate planning Dying intestate can leave a difficult, expensive and time -consuming mess for both your family and your business partners. But with appropriate planning, you can ensure your estate is left to those you want to benefit, that arrangements with your business partners are as smooth as possible, and that your family’s tax liability is no higher than necessary. If you do not make reasonable provision for your dependants in your will or elsewhere, your estate may face lengthy and costly legal proceedings. Planning your will and letter of wishes is a cost effective way in which to protect the monies that you leave from litigation costs.
Lasting power of attorney If you lost your mental or physical capacity, what would happen to your property and financial affairs? If you are in a partnership, how would you mitigate the impact on the business? Should the worst happen, a lasting power of attorney (LPA) gives someone else permission to manage your finances and property. We have many years of experience advising on: Wills Trusts Tax planning Probate and administration of estates Powers of attorney Deputyships Wills trust and estate disputes Family law advice Pre- and post-nuptial agreements Nobody enters a relationship or marriage expecting it to fail, but the sad truth is that many do eventually break down. Preand post-nuptial agreements can help to pre-determine what should happen if your relationship fails. Pre- and post-nuptial agreements can also cover how your interest in your business should be treated, limiting the adverse impact on the practice and your partners. They are particularly useful if you have children from a first marriage for whom you wish to preserve wealth, or if you are bringing significant inherited wealth to the marriage. Divorce Should your marriage irretrievably break down, our team has extensive experience in limiting and mitigating the worst effects of divorce on you, your family, and your business. From steering you through the proceedings through to advising on cost-effective and efficient disclosure, valuation and negotiations, our lawyers are able to protect your interests at all turns. We understand that running a GP practice means there is little time to look after your own needs. Our trusted team can advise on how best to approach the situation and is experienced in court applications as well as out of court resolutions using mediation and collaborative law. Our focus is to prevent expensive and time-consuming litigation, giving you control over your affairs – with the minimum of distraction. Our team of recognised leading experts can advise on: Divorce or dissolution of civil partnerships Financial remedy on divorce and dissolution Separation agreements Pre and post nuptial agreements Cohabitation disputes and Trusts of Land and Trustee Act claims Cohabitation agreements Inheritance Act Claims Financial claims on behalf of children and Schedule I Children Act claims Disputes in relation to children Out of court dispute resolution
