Protect and preserve
Thinking about Wills can be daunting, and when complex agricultural estates are involved, it can be tempting to put off making potentially difficult decisions. But everyone should have a will which reflects their wishes and protects their loved ones. Planning will give you peace of mind, and we’re here to help you achieve it.
At Blanchards Bailey, we’re experienced in guiding agricultural clients through the will making process. Our team is able to give specialist advice, helping you to balance the needs of family members who are involved in the farm and those that aren’t. We understand farming partnerships and companies and appreciate the need to protect tax reliefs, such as Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief in respect of Inheritance Tax.
We also regularly design arrangements within Wills to ensure the farm is protected should a beneficiary get divorced, or to mitigate against the effects of children falling out with one another.
How we help
“That was easier than I expected it to be…” is one of the most common comments our supportive team receives. We know that farming life is busy, so we’re happy to meet you face to face in the office or at your home, virtually or via telephone – whichever option best suits you best.
When making a will, it’s essential that you’re able to make informed decisions. So we take the time to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have, making clear and timely communication our top priority. We’re happy to work in conjunction with your accountant and land agent to make sure everyone is on the same page and the process is as easy as possible for you.
We are proactive in our approach to will writing and estate planning, and we also understand that life is unpredictable – your circumstances may change over time. That's why we offer ongoing support and advice to ensure that your will remains up to date and reflects any changes in your life.
