Questions
Why should I make a Will?
A Will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, appoints guardians for children, and helps avoid family disputes. It enables tax planning and provides peace of mind.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
An LPA legally appoints trusted individuals to manage your financial and health decisions if you lose mental capacity. It provides security for both property and personal welfare matters.
Do I need Probate?
Probate is usually required unless assets are under £5,000 or held jointly. Professional advice helps navigate complex tax implications and ensures proper estate administration.
How does Later Life Planning help?
Later Life Planning addresses inheritance tax, long-term care costs, and potential family disputes through Wills, Trusts, and care fee planning strategies to protect your family's future.
What services do you offer businesses?
We provide workplace benefits including corporate Wills and LPAs, retirement seminars, and charity legacy planning services to support employee and organisational needs.

Parchment Law Group undertook some legal work for my family which was completed to a very high standard, on time and on budget. We were delighted with the service and I have been happy to recommend this firm to my own clients.

Report
A friend used for dealing with her father's will and Valerie was great but her husband, who works at the practice, was rude and incompetent - would definitely not use because of the husband. Do not recommend the practice, unless you can get guarantees that the husband won't be involved.
