Services
Wills
A Will is a critical legal document ensuring your assets and wishes are honoured. Our solicitors provide expert guidance to avoid pitfalls like invalidity or disputes. We offer home visits and remote consultations, with competitive pricing starting at 118 per person, ensuring clarity and legal robustness tailored to your circumstances.
Trusts
Trusts protect assets for beneficiaries, including children, disabled individuals, or property. Our bespoke solutions safeguard estates from care home fees, remarriage risks, or legal claims. Services include Children's Protective Trusts and Property Protective Trusts, with free initial consultations to explain options and ensure tax efficiency.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) empower trusted individuals to manage your affairs if you lose capacity. We draft Property & Financial Affairs LPAs and Health & Welfare LPAs, starting at 220 per person. Our process includes two home visits and ensures compliance, with discounts for combined services.
Probate
Probate services guide executors through estate administration, including asset distribution and tax compliance. We offer full estate management or partial support, with transparent fees. Our experienced team handles complex cases, ensuring legal accuracy and minimising stress during emotional times.
Home Protection Trust
This Trust safeguards your home against care home fees and ensures inheritance for chosen beneficiaries. We structure trusts to protect property shares during remarriage or second deaths. A free information pack explains how this solution secures your legacy while complying with legal standards.
