Wills & Probate

You will be looking for specialist and expert advice to guide you through the pitfalls of Inheritance Tax and planning your estate for the benefit of yourself and your family. Our department deals with:-

  • Wills
  • Estate and Trust administration
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney
  • Court of Protection Receivership
  • The creation and administration of Trusts

The Will is your main opportunity to provide for your family, but lifetime arrangements may be advisable before the Will takes effect. Your present circumstances may change over the years and therefore your Will needs to be kept under review.

Inheritance Tax is constantly changing, so Wills and estate plans made in the past may no longer be effective.

After a death, the family requires sympathetic and expert guidance through the complexities of estate administration, and support at a particularly stressful time.

Many of us are concerned about providing for care in old age and ensuring that our affairs are looked after properly by someone we know and trust, and it is important that the appropriate person is properly appointed in good time.

Where these arrangements have not been possible in time, receivership under the Public Guardianship Office is the appropriate alternative but it involves a more detailed and costly procedure.
