We are pleased to advise and assist with everything from straightforward wills to the more complicated arrangements and associated tax planning.

We realise that sometimes the making of a Will is avoided or put off because we have to think about after our death. We can not stress enough however the importance of not only making a Will but also of having it done professionally through a Solicitor.

The law books are full of cases involving disputes where there has been no will or a home made will. Making a proper valid Will sets out clearly your wishes and reduces the chances of there being a dispute or the need to ask the Court to help with interpretation or construction of the words used and their meaning and effect. It will also avoid the arbitrary rules of inheritance, which apply if you do not have a Will as set out in the intestacy rules. We are not only experienced and expert at assisting you with your Will but will deal with it in a very friendly and efficient manner.

We can advise and prepare Powers of Attorney, including Lasting Powers of Attorney and assist with applications to the Court of Protection.

We can also advise on mitigation of inheritance tax and lifetime gifts.

We are experienced administrators of estates and can help and guide you through the Inheritance tax forms, claims to relief, probate application and the winding up of the estate. This will relieve you of the burden and worry of most of the paperwork and effort involved in winding up the estate and you can be sure that we can deal with any complexities and complete the administration in a friendly and efficient manner.
