Services
Will Writing
We create tailored Wills considering your assets, inheritance tax implications, and beneficiary arrangements. Our service includes trust establishment, executor appointments, and guardianship planning for children. Documents are drafted, reviewed, and securely stored with certified copies provided.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
We prepare both Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs. Our process includes attorney selection guidance, drafting documents, registration with the Office of the Public Guardian, and secure storage solutions for future accessibility.
Will Trusts
Our trust services manage asset distribution post-death, including tax-efficient structures. We advise on appropriate trustees, beneficiary arrangements, and integration with your overall estate plan to ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
Inheritance Tax Advice
We assess your estate's tax liability and recommend mitigation strategies. Our advice covers asset structuring, charitable donations, and trust mechanisms to optimise inheritance tax efficiency within legal frameworks.
Guardianship Appointments
We guide parents through appointing guardians for children under 18, considering suitability factors and preparing letters of wishes to communicate care preferences for minor beneficiaries.
