Services
Wills
A legally binding Will ensures your assets and dependants are protected according to your wishes. Our qualified consultants create tailored Wills covering guardianship, executor appointments, and asset distribution. We advise against DIY solutions, ensuring your document complies with current legislation to prevent future complications for loved ones.
Lasting Power Of Attorney
Secure decision-making authority for financial and healthcare matters through Property & Financial Affairs LPA and Health & Welfare LPA. We help business owners and individuals establish legal frameworks to protect their interests during incapacity, avoiding costly court interventions.
Probate
Our fixed-fee Probate service simplifies estate administration during bereavement. We handle legal processes to release assets, avoiding frozen accounts and excessive fees charged by traditional providers. This includes obtaining grants of representation and managing tax implications.
Property Protection Trust Will
Safeguard property from sideways disinheritance through tailored Trust Wills. We structure Tenants in Common ownership to protect assets for children while allowing surviving partners residency rights. This solution prevents unintended inheritance by new spouses after remarriage.
Family Trusts
Establish Family Trusts to protect assets from probate costs and ensure direct inheritance by beneficiaries. Our Trust structures bypass administrative delays, preserving wealth for future generations while maintaining flexibility for changing circumstances.
People
Peter Savage
Founder
Former Financial Adviser Peter Savage established Deedsafe Wills in 2000 after recognising clients' lack of estate planning. He transitioned to full-time Will writing, becoming an IPW-qualified expert specialising in complex estate solutions while maintaining client-focused service delivery.
Questions
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA legally appoints someone to manage your financial or healthcare decisions if you lose capacity, avoiding court intervention.
Why should I make a Will?
A Will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, appoints guardians for dependants, and prevents intestacy rules from applying.
How does a Property Protection Trust work?
It safeguards property shares from unintended inheritance by new spouses after remarriage, ensuring assets pass to children while protecting the surviving partner.
Do I need Probate?
Probate is required to access most assets in England & Wales, though Trust-held assets may bypass this process.
Can I update my Will after divorce?
Yes - divorce invalidates spouse-related provisions. We recommend creating a new Will to reflect your current circumstances and intentions.
What areas do you cover?
We serve Shropshire, Cheshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Mid Wales, Staffordshire, and West Midlands with home visits available.
