Nobody likes to think about it too much, but inevitably one day you will have to leave your business or farm, whether by selling up, retiring or leaving for health reasons.

It is very important to have a succession plan in place that makes the transition easy not only for yourself but also for your family or employees and minimises the chances of the business or farm having to be sold up when you leave

Estate planning goes beyond drafting a will – it includes:

• The assessment of assets
• The assessment of likely taxation
• Advice regarding the possibility of claims against the estate by third parties
• The protection of assets

Estate planning is an active process of re-evaluating the estate when circumstances in life change, such as:

• Newly married couples or those divorcing
• A change to the family’s asset pool
• A change in working conditions such as the buying or selling of a business
• Changes to superannuation, insurance policies or taxation levels
• The establishment of discretionary trusts

A successful plan is made involving all family members as it will take into account not only provisions for your retirement income but also the plans, aptitudes and existing assets of younger generations.

Buying or selling your home is quite possibly the largest financial transaction you will ever make. It’s not a process to leave to chance. You want to make sure that everything is in order, and that you’re making wise decisions. Conveyancing is time consuming, complex and can be risky if you don’t have experience.

Our conveyancing solicitors can help

We know how stressful it is, and will use our many years of experience to make sure that everything flows smoothly. We’ll make sure that everything is above board and that you’re getting what you expect.

Our conveyancing solicitors have seen a lot of property contracts, and know where to look for the pitfalls. We’ll expedite things as much as we can and keep you up to date on progress.

We offer a fixed fee service, which will help you budget for your move.

What’s included in the conveyancing process

Our conveyancing solicitors will:

• Make sure that the property title is sound and verify the ownership.
• Check if the property is freehold or leasehold and advise accordingly.
• Draw up a contract of sale and send it to the buyer’s solicitor.
• Check for restrictive covenants or rights of way that could affect your plans for the property.
• Check that buildings and alterations have the correct planning permission, licences and warranties.
• Check that there are no debts owing against a property, and if there are that they are released before the property is transferred to you.
• Carry out local authority searches to make sure if there are zoning restrictions or any debts due.
• Check if there is a lease, and if so, check the lease conditions.
• Arrange for additional property searches, depending on the circumstances. These might including checking previous land use, whether the land is prone to flooding, if there are planned railway or motorway developments, whether medieval laws still require you to contribute to the local church and so on.
• Check mortgage documents.
• Ensure the deposit has been paid.
• Exchange contracts for you which makes the deal legally binding.
• Lodge an interest in the property so that the property cannot be sold to another.
• Calculate the final figure to pay.
• Arrange for the title to be transferred to the new owner’s name.
• Pay Stamp Duty Tax on your behalf.
• Lodge the title deeds with the Land Registry.
• Send a copy of the deeds to your mortgage lender.
