Legal Services You Need For The Most Important Things In Life!

Death
Considering the implications of your death is very important for protecting your family and those you love the most. Writing a Will means that your family will inherit your home and possessions if that is your wish.

Should you die intestate it could mean that your partner is left homeless and your ex-spouse inherits your home.

Power of Attorney
At ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan, Solicitors Edinburgh, we believe that everyone should have a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney is a document which appoints one or more trusted individuals to act on your behalf in relation to financial matters or your welfare.

You never know what will happen in life, and having a Power of Attorney in place means you know that someone you trust will be able to take care of your affairs in a way that you would want.

Buying A Home
Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned property investor, it is important to have an experienced conveyancing solicitor on your side from the outset to advise you on the legal aspects of purchasing a property.

Choosing A Property

In Edinburgh, many Solicitor firms also run an Estate Agency where you can view a selection of flats and homes to buy. The estate agent will be able to help you find a great new home and help negotiate the deal.

Work

Everyone expects to be treated fairly at work and feel respected. Unfortunately, sometimes there can be problems with your employer or colleagues that require advise and help from a specialist employment solicitor. A good employment lawyer for employees can help you with problems with a new contract, discrimination, flexible working hours, illness or redundancy.

Legal Services Required For Employers

At ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan we fully appreciate that employment law advice is not the first thing that employers wish to spend their money on! However, it is a fact of life that employment law does impose a large number of obligations on employers, and we see it as our job to help employers deal with this in the most productive way possible, in the hope that this will ultimately have a positive effect on their business and their staff. We believe that if employers are willing to take our advice in relation to how matters such as employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance procedures, equal opportunities, restructuring, and retirement should be approached, this will result in benefits to their business in the long run.

Living Will
A Living Will is more properly defined as an “Advanced Medical Directive” and it takes the form of instructions to your doctor given in advance. The idea is that you create a document setting out what you would wish to happen if you were severely ill or incapacitated and were unable to tell your doctors what your wishes were.
