Power of Attorneys, Wills & Trusts

There are many benefits to preparing a power of attorney, will or making trust arrangements, chief among them is that you are able to set out in clear terms your future health care, how you would like your assets to be maintained, funeral arrangements and the distribution of your assets after your death. This lessens the chance of disagreements and confusion among the person(s) you appoint to take charge and your beneficiaries. Another great benefit is that you are able to arrange your affairs in such a way as to lessen the tax burden on your appointees, relatives or beneficiaries.

 Intestate Matters

If you die without leaving a Will, all is not lost. The Jamaican Intestates’ Estates Property Charges Act provides a mechanism for recognizing the persons who are first in line to benefit from a deceased’s estate and what steps need to be taken. It is best, however, to seek the assistance of an experienced Attorney to prepare the necessary documents and advise you of all the requirements you must satisfy as set out by the Act.
