Wills
Our will-writing service creates legally binding documents to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. We offer standard and trust-based wills tailored to individual circumstances, including tax-efficient arrangements and guardianship provisions. Our consultants provide clear guidance to help clients choose appropriate structures for their family and financial situations.
Probate
We assist executors with the legal and tax processes required to settle estates. Our service includes asset valuation, inheritance tax calculations, trust establishment, and distribution of assets. We specialise in handling complex cases involving trusts, care fee protection, and multi-generational wealth transfer while ensuring compliance with current regulations.
Trusts
Our trust services focus on preserving family assets and minimising care home fees. We create various trust structures including discretionary, life interest, and family trusts. These arrangements protect inheritances from third-party claims while maintaining tax efficiency and providing flexibility for future generations.
Lasting Power of Attorney
We establish legal frameworks allowing appointed representatives to manage financial and healthcare decisions. Our service covers property, financial, and welfare arrangements, ensuring clients maintain control over their affairs even during incapacity while complying with Office of the Public Guardian requirements.
Estate Planning
Our comprehensive planning service addresses inheritance tax mitigation, care fee protection, and generational wealth transfer. We combine wills, trusts, and tax strategies to create holistic solutions that protect assets while considering future family needs and potential legislative changes.

Questions
What documents should I prepare before creating a will?
Gather asset details, beneficiary information, and existing legal documents. Our consultants will guide you through required disclosures during your appointment.
How does a trust will protect my assets?
Trust wills safeguard assets from care home fees and remarriage risks while maintaining tax efficiency. They ensure inheritances pass directly to intended beneficiaries.
What happens if I need to update my will?
We recommend reviewing wills every 3-5 years or after major life events. Updates require creating a new legally valid document rather than amending existing versions.
How long does probate typically take?
Process duration varies but generally takes 6-12 months. We expedite applications while ensuring accurate tax reporting and asset distribution.
Can I create a will without professional assistance?
While legally possible, homemade wills often contain errors leading to disputes. Our professional service ensures legal validity and clear execution of your wishes.
