McClure Solicitors went into administration in April 2021 and many ex-clients are now concerned about the legal documents they prepared previously through McClures. We have been actively helping a number of ex-clients of McClure Solicitors where, upon the advice of McClures, “Family Protection Trusts” were put in place and these types of legal documents in particular may not have been in the best interests of those clients

Once you have put a Will in place, you’ll have completed a very important step in your life. So why and when should you review your Will? It’s generally a good idea to read through your Will every three or so years. However, there are some key circumstances where it’s vitally important to check that your wishes are up-to-date. This will ensure that your loved ones are still protected as you wish, and that they’re not left in a difficult position.

Welcoming a new generation into the family is a significant time. Whether you’re a Grandparent for the first time or not, the excitement can often be underwritten with thoughts about how best to gift something to your Grandchild to help them when you’ve gone.

“I’m a parent and have been told I should have a Will. But I don’t understand why it’s so important.” No one likes to think about it, but unfortunately, death is a fact of life. It’s going to happen to us all at some point. However, if you’re a parent and you don’t have a Will in place, then you’re at risk of leaving your family horribly exposed, particularly if you have a partner and are unmarried.

Making a Will can often seem an uncomfortable exercise. But it’s vitally important. It’s an excellent opportunity to review your estate as well as making sure those you hold dear are looked after. A Will offers you the choice and control in how your assets are dealt with. At the same time, importantly, it makes your wishes valid and binding.
