Our
expert solicitors specialise in the many elements of Wills, trusts and probate, and
can talk you through this complex area of law, providing an
individual and sympathetic service tailored to you and your
family's needs.
If you are thinking it is time to put your affairs in order and to
plan for your family's future security, we can draft your Will, set
up trusts and
consider and advise you about your tax liabilities with our
specialist tax planning team.
We are experienced in setting up Powers of Attorney for those
considering handing over responsibility for their financial
affairs. Where a friend or loved one is incapable of dealing with
their finances after an accident or illness, we can also assist in
your application to the Court of Protection to enable you
to manage their affairs.
If you are responsible for a deceased's estate (executing their
wishes and handling finances, property issues and bills) we can
help ease the pressure through our administration of estates
service. If you need advice about how to dispute or defend a Will,
our legal team specialise in contentious probate claims, aiming
to resolve disputes swiftly and sensibly.
Our Wills, trusts and probate team is comprised of members
of the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners (STEP),
Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) and the Association of Contentious
Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS).
