Services
Will Writing
Our Will writing service creates legally binding documents that accurately reflect your wishes while considering complex family dynamics. We guide clients through decisions about executors, guardianship, and asset distribution. Our expertise ensures Wills withstand legal scrutiny while minimising potential disputes among beneficiaries.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
We establish robust Lasting Powers of Attorney to protect your interests should you lose mental capacity. Our service covers both health/welfare and property/financial matters, ensuring your chosen attorneys have clear guidance about your preferences and limitations.
Estate Administration
Our probate specialists simplify estate administration during difficult times. We handle all aspects from initial valuation to final distribution, providing clear guidance through complex legal requirements while offering compassionate support to bereaved families.
Inheritance Tax Planning
We develop strategic approaches to minimise inheritance tax liabilities through legitimate exemptions and trust structures. Our advice considers both immediate tax savings and long-term family wealth preservation while maintaining compliance with current legislation.
Advance Decisions
We help clients create legally binding Advance Decisions that clearly communicate medical treatment preferences. Our guidance ensures these documents properly interact with Lasting Powers of Attorney while respecting personal beliefs and healthcare choices.

Highly recommend Alex with flying colours! What a first class service with a consummate friendly caring and personable professional. She is a rare find and knows her specialised field inside out and is extremely thorough. Streets ahead of any high street practice or bog standard will writing service that just won't delve deep enough to protect you or your interests whether dead or alive! If you want a la carte Michelin stars when it comes to wills you won't find anyone out there better than Alex. Fantastic!
