Wills, Probate and Trusts 

The importance of planning the distribution of your estate to meet the needs of your family cannot be overemphasised. We at MacSweeney & Company provide comprehensive advice on all aspects of will-making. We advise on the taxation implications of transferring assets to children and other beneficiaries. Through a carefully planned will, you can minimise the amount of tax payable by your beneficiaries upon your death.

  • family partnerships
  • powers of attorney including enduring powers of attorney
  • reorganisation and transfer of family businesses
