Planning for life after your death is very important. There are many people and issues to consider such as tax and avoiding potential family disputes.
At O’Dwyer we have an expert working knowledge of what is important at this time. We assist clients in planning their futures with the drafting of wills to take into account their wishes and intentions in a tax efficient way. After death we administer estates for clients who have been left the responsibility of following through on the wishes of the deceased. We oversee the distribution of estates and finalisation of land transactions on behalf of beneficiaries.
