Wills & Estate Planning

Making plans now can give you and your family lasting peace of mind. We provide clear, practical advice to help protect your wishes, safeguard your assets, and make sure the right people can act for you when needed.

Wills and Will Writing

A well-prepared Will ensures your estate is managed exactly as you intend. We can help you create or update your Will, explain what happens if there is no Will, and provide guidance if a Will is disputed. Our aim is to make the process clear, straightforward, and fully tailored to your wishes.

Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection

We can help you appoint someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Where no arrangements are in place, we also handle Court of Protection applications to appoint a deputy, ensuring your affairs are managed correctly and in your best interests.

Probate, Estates and Inheritance

Dealing with probate and estate administration can feel overwhelming, especially alongside the complexities of inheritance tax and future planning. Our guidance helps make the process clearer, while ensuring your wishes and your family’s needs are protected.

Probate and Estate Administration

We can guide you through the process of managing a loved one’s estate, from applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration to making sure everything is handled with care. Our approach helps you meet your responsibilities while easing the burden during a difficult time.

Inheritance Tax and Estate Planning

We can explain how inheritance tax may affect what you pass on and explore ways to reduce its impact. Whether you are planning ahead for your own estate or dealing with matters after a loss, we offer clear advice to help protect what matters most to you and your family.
