"It is surprisingly uncommon to find a law firm that provides such clear and concise guides to business succession planning and shareholders' agreements. Having been through the exercise with a number of our accounting practice clients, it is good to have a tool that can be used to assist them in getting a clear picture of how they want their business to continue following an unexpected event and how they expect the various shareholders to interact with each other. These tools provide a clear set of instructions to the legal team at Roberts Legal."

The role of the Executor is important, however, many of the tasks and responsibilities of the Executor should be performed by or with the assistance of a Solicitor. This is because the administration of an Estate carries risk of personal liability for the Executor and will often involve the consideration of complex legal issues.
