Legal planning for life’s milestones: what you need to know at every stage
Life is full of change. Whether you’re buying your first home, getting married, or planning for retirement, each milestone comes with its own legal implications. At Randell & Loveridge, we believe in proactive planning to protect what matters most. Here’s a guide to the key life events that call for thoughtful legal support.
1. Buying a Property
Purchasing a home is often the biggest financial decision you’ll make. Conveyancing ensures the process is handled smoothly, from title checks and surveys to final contracts. In Guernsey, where local property laws can be complex, having experienced legal support is essential for a stress-free move. Find out more here
2. Getting Married or Entering a Civil Partnerships
Marriage isn’t just an emotional commitment; it has significant legal consequences. From updating your Will to considering pre-nuptial agreements and property ownership structures, a little planning early on can prevent complications later.
3. Starting or Growing a Family
Welcoming a child is a time of joy and new responsibilities. It’s also a crucial moment to review your Will and perhaps appoint legal guardians. You might also want to explore setting up trusts or other long-term financial protections for your children.
4. Child Maintenance
If you’re navigating child maintenance arrangements, whether following a separation or as part of co-parenting, it’s vital to understand your legal rights and responsibilities. A clear agreement can help avoid disputes and ensure the wellbeing of your children. We offer practical advice to help parents reach fair, sustainable solutions.
5. Starting a Business
If you’re launching a new venture, getting your legal foundations right is key. From choosing the right structure to drafting shareholder agreements and ensuring compliance, sound legal advice sets you up for long-term success.
6. Divorce or Seperation
Relationship breakdowns are never easy, but clear legal advice can make the process more manageable. We help clients navigate the division of assets, child arrangements, and the need to update legal documents like Wills or Power of Attorney.
7. Planning for Later Life
As we age, planning becomes about peace of mind and protecting independence. Putting a Power of Attorney in place, updating your Will, or thinking ahead about care and asset protection are all important steps to take before a crisis hits
8. Bereavement
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without legal confusion. Our team is here to support you through the probate process, ensuring estates are administered with clarity, care, and professionalism.
