CARIS SOLICITORS

Although this is a somewhat gloomy subject it is something everyone should consider. We offer Will Drafting in various forms such as Inheritance Tax efficient Wills, Living Wills and tailor made Wills to suit individual requests. We also prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney and other documentation ancillary to specific Wills. If you require assistance we can offer expertise with all applications to the Public Guardianship Office and the Court of Protection. It is often a very distressing time when a loved one dies but we can help ease the burden with our sympathetic and professional approach to Probate. Barbara deals with this area of law at both of our offices.

We cover all aspects of Family and Childcare law from divorce, injunctions through to public sector children work. We have the benefit of a Legal Services Commission Family Franchise which means that the Legal Services Commission (who authorise legal aid work) recognise us to be a firm which specialises in Family Law and that we have undertaken additional training in this area. Collaborative Law is a new way to resolve divorce and family disputes with dignity and respect. Divorce takes an immense toll. Time, emotions and financial resources are often sacrificed.

If you have been injured through no fault of your own we have the legal expertise to help pursue any possible claim against those responsible. There are various ways of funding such a claim and we will meet with you to discuss the most appropriate for your individual needs. We also offer a 'No win no fee' in most cases and this will be discussed with you at the first meeting. It is important to remember that a claim for personal injury must be brought to us as soon as possible as there are strict legal time limits which must be followed.
