The staff members working at Collective Legal Solutions have years of experience in the area of wealth protection, as well as inheritance planning. Since April 2007, Collective Legal Solutions has been guiding and supporting families around England and Wales, helping them with all issues related to estate planning. Collective Legal Solutions legal staff hold qualifications with STEP, but don’t all retain membership. STEP is widely recognised as a leading professional body in the field of trusts and estate planning.
Collective Legal Solutions employees do their best to educate clients on the risks associated with ignoring inheritance planning and wealth protection issues. A lot of those who come to Collective Legal Solutions for help are initially surprised to learn just how important things like setting up a will or a trust are. If the worst should happen, and a person finds that they are unable to properly manage their finances due to an accident or sudden illness, they may find that their family is left with nothing, as their bank accounts could be frozen and their property could not be sold without their permission.
In addition to this, whomever they have named as being their next of kin would be forced to endure the expense and the stress of going to court to resolve these issues. However, Collective Legal Solutions can help families to avoid this type of situation, by guiding them through the process of writing up a will, and setting up Power of Attorney. The latter is particularly important in the event of illness or accident, as it allows clients of Collective Legal Solutions to nominate a trustworthy relative or close friend to act on their behalf.
Whilst the main goal of the team working for Collective Legal Solutions is to provide their own clients with sound advice on estate planning, they also provide free, basic information on this subject at various community events around England and Wales. Collective Legal Solutions representatives do their best to speak without using complex, confusing legal jargon; instead they use simple, straightforward language to educate and inform the public on the importance of will creation, and protecting their financial assets from risks such as inheritance tax, long term care expenses, mental incapacity and divorce. Although many Collective Legal Solutions clients initially worry that the process of setting up wills and trusts will be time consuming and costly, this is not the case at all, and doing so could save them and their families a great deal of expense and heartache later down the line.
