Legacy administration
Acting for many national and local charities, we help manage legacies from start to finish for the benefit of the charity, from drafting wills for charity donors to assisting with the administration through to resolving any legacy disputes that arise.
During the will writing process, we deal with capacity and undue influence issues to reduce the chances of a claim and therefore protect the legacy for the charity.
As part of administering an estate, we advise executors to carry out missing will and asset searches to protect the estate, therefore protecting the legacy for the charity..
Where your charity is either appointed as an executor or is a residuary beneficiary under a will with no active executors, we can deal with the estate administration on your behalf.
