Personal Law
For
our private clients, and indeed business and commercial clients who want advice
on personal matters, we offer a range of expert legal services, which are
available on a nationwide basis, as well as to callers at our Cheshire office.
We offer a discreet and highly confidential service and in many instances
have developed helpful factsheets and straightforward self-completed questionnaires,
to help make sometimes complex issues simpler and easier to understand.
We are keenly aware that you will be concerned about costs, so we will always endeavour to give you as accurate an estimate as possible of our own costs and other associated expenditure, at the outset. Where appropriate, we are also developing fixed-price consultation packages and conditional ‘no win, no fee’ agreements to help further constrain costs. Our overall aim is to offer you proactive and highly practical advice in a number of key personal and domestic areas:
Domestic Conveyancing
Foreign Wills
Matrimonial Matters
Overseas Property
Personal Injury
Probate Matters
Will Making
Domestic Conveyancing
Buying a home is the most significant investment you are likely to make, so
it is important to ensure that the conveyancing is carried out thoroughly,
efficiently and with the minimum of stress. Let Grace & Co take care of
the legalities, while you deal with the practicalities of moving house. We
offer affordable conveyancing costs, without sacrificing quality of service.
Matrimonial Matters
The breakdown of a marital or cohabitation relationship can be a traumatic
experience. Each party will naturally be concerned that his or her rights
are fully protected and that proper financial arrangements are made. We offer
sensitive advice on all matrimonial matters, including the division of assets,
maintenance, residence issues and any pension entitlements. In this context,
we have prepared a special factsheet about things you should know about divorce,
which you can read or download by clicking on the button below.
Things You Should Know About Divorce
Overseas Property
Purchasing property is stressful enough, but buying property abroad introduces
still further worries about local planning and tax issues, property charges,
inheritance laws and dealing in a foreign language. We have established a
special department to deal with overseas property transactions, one of relatively
few in the UK, so you can let Grace & Co take care of things, saving you
stress and unforeseen costs. Visit our dedicated Overseas Property website
pages, simply by clicking on the link below.
Personal Injury
Personal injuries can be suffered as a result of accidents in the home, work
or school, in the car or on the street, or even a criminal act of violence.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may well be payable and we can
assist in evaluating liability and pressing any claim. We also advise on the
related area of medical negligence. There is a separate section of our site
devoted to Personal Injury matters and to visit it click on the button below.
Probate Matters
The handling of a deceased person’s estate needs to be dealt with sympathetically
and we have considerable experience of acting for families at this distressing
time. Our detailed knowledge enables us to offer legal and practical advice
on the deceased’s will and assets, the tax implications and any legacies,
as well as making applications for the grant of probate or letters of administration.
Will Making
Making a will is much easier and less traumatic than many realise and we specialise
in helping people to make adequate provisions for their loved ones. We guide
you through all the issues involved in making a will and interpret the technical
legal clauses that many wills must contain. We can also advise on tax planning
measures and address any concerns related to inheritance issues. You can even
consult us on living wills, which detail your wishes in the event of an accident
or life-threatening disease. In this area, we have prepared a factsheet on
points to consider when making a will, which you can read or download by clicking
