An effective estate plan may require more than preparing a valid Will and it is important to consider various aspects of your life, financial and personal circumstances when planning estate documents. A valid Will determines who should benefit from your estate when you die and who will be responsible for administering it - those chosen as your executors / trustees.

Buying or selling a business requires careful planning to ensure that agreed terms and conditions are properly negotiated and documented in a written contract.
