Foys Solicitors in Chapeltown

From coal mining, iron works, army tanks to light industry, the good people of Chapeltown have been contributing to the South Yorkshire economy in a wide variety of ways. At Foys, we have been serving the Chapeltown community since 2000 and will continue to assist residents and businesses across Chapeltown.

Wills and Probates

An important document, a will makes sure your wishes are carried out when it comes to the division and organisation of your assets. The process of creating a will includes drawing up a list of your assets and debts, deciding how you want to divide your estate, choosing an executor or executors and contacting a solicitor who specialises in wills.

It is important to note that you must have the mental capacity at the time you make a will. If you have a serious illness or if you have been diagnosed with dementia, you can still make a will if you can prove that you understand the contents of the will and what you are signing – this is something that your solicitors can make sure that the process is right and legitimate.

Following a death, the executor(s) for the deceased will need to get a Grant of Probate, an official document allowing the executor(s) to deal with the deceased’s estate. If you’re an executor, you can apply for this grant directly or getting help from a solicitor.
