What is estate planning?

Protecting your wealth, your wishes and your loved ones

Scroll down

Estate planning is about far more than what happens after you die. It’s about creating clarity, protecting your assets, reducing stress for your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are carried out, both during your lifetime and beyond.

At Ashwood Law Estate Planning, we take a calm, caring and holistic approach, helping you plan with confidence and supporting you at every stage.

Why estate planning matters

Good estate planning gives you control. It ensures your wealth is protected, your decisions are honoured and your family is supported, no matter what life brings.

An effective estate plan can help you:

Protect your assets for future generations
Reduce the administrative burden on loved ones
Make decisions about your finances, health and care
Provide clarity during illness, incapacity, or after death
Reduce tax liabilities where appropriate
Ensure vulnerable people are cared for properly

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or older individuals—it’s relevant for everyone who wants peace of mind.

Wills

A Will ensures your wishes are respected and your assets are passed on exactly as you intend.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)

LPAs allow you to appoint trusted people to make decisions if you become unable to manage your own affairs.

Trusts

Trusts help protect your wealth, support vulnerable beneficiaries, and manage assets tax-efficiently—both now and in the future.

Probate

Probate is the legal and financial process that takes place after someone dies. We offer compassionate support to ease the burden during a difficult time.

Together, these services create a complete, thoughtful and protective plan for your life and your legacy.
