Wills and Estate Planning
Proper planning gives peace of mind that your wishes are followed, not decided for you.
Creating a legally valid will allows you to decide how your property, finances, and personal possessions will be distributed. Estate planning can also include appointing guardians for children, setting up trusts, and planning for inheritance tax efficiency.
Every 'Will' we draft is registered with the National Will Register at no extra cost to you.
Probate Services
When someone close to you has died, probate can feel like one more thing on an already overwhelming list.
We validate the will, value the estate, settle debts and tax, and distribute what's left to beneficiaries, handling the admin so you don't have to.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) means the people you trust can step in and make decisions on your behalf, financial, medical, or both, if you're ever unable to make them yourself.
In England and Wales, LPAs must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before they can be used. Properly preparing and registering these documents helps avoid delays or complications if they are needed later.
Inheritance Planning
We'll help you plan how your assets, property, and wealth pass on, so your beneficiaries receive what you intend.
The goal is to ensure that beneficiaries receive assets according to the individual’s wishes while minimising legal complications and taxes.
Care Home and Asset Protection Planning
If long term care is on the horizon for you or someone you love, we'll help you plan your finances and property to manage the cost while protecting what you can for the people who matter to you.
Contested Probate
In our experience this mainly arises over the distribution of a deceased person’s estate, including money, property, or other assets.
These disputes often occur when family members or beneficiaries disagree about the validity of a will or how the estate should be divided.
