Wills, Probate and Wealth Management

A properly drafted will ensures your estate is distributed as you intend. It provides certainty for your loved ones, and can help minimise inheritance tax liabilities. We prepare tailor-made wills that clearly set out your wishes and reduce the risk of future disputes.

​We assist in creating Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) so that the people you trust can manage your financial, property, and health decisions if you lose capacity. We will guide you through the process to ensure your wishes are respected and your best interests are protected.

A Deed of Variation allows beneficiaries to restructure an estate after death, either to reflect the family’s wishes or to optimise tax efficiency. We advise and prepare legally valid deeds to achieve the desired outcomes while ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements.

Our team can guide executors and administrators through the full probate process, from applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration to the distribution of assets.

Our dedicated legal team provides expert assistance in drafting and managing trust deeds, ensuring your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes.

Where no LPA is in place, we can assist with applications to the Court of Protection for deputyship orders. This ensures that decisions relating to finances, property, and welfare can be made lawfully on behalf of a loved one who lacks capacity.

Disputes over wills and estates can be highly emotional. We act for beneficiaries, executors, and claimants in inheritance disputes, including challenges to the validity of wills, claims under the Inheritance Act 1975, and disputes between executors. Our aim is always to resolve matters efficiently and, where possible, without litigation.

We provide expert advice on structuring a trust to take advantage of favourable tax laws, privacy protection and asset protection regulations. Our services include guidance on offshore trusts and international assets to ensure compliance while maximising tax efficiency.

Our estate planning service goes beyond drafting wills. We provide comprehensive strategies that include the use of trusts and gifting to preserve your wealth for future generations and give you peace of mind.
