Services
Professional Will Writing
Our Will writing service ensures your wishes are clearly documented through face-to-face consultations or remote meetings. We specialise in creating tailored Wills that address executor appointments, guardianship, asset distribution, and inheritance tax considerations. Clients receive clear guidance on legal requirements and options, with completed Wills reviewed for accuracy before finalisation.
Lasting Power of Attorney
We help establish Lasting Power of Attorney documents to appoint trusted decision-makers for financial or healthcare matters. The process includes explaining legal distinctions between financial and health LPAs, preparing registration paperwork, and advising on appropriate appointees. Our service covers fee reductions for eligible clients and ensures compliance with current legislation.
Inheritance Tax Planning
Specialist advice on reducing inheritance tax liabilities through strategic gifting, trust creation, and asset restructuring. We explain annual exemption limits, charitable donation benefits, and intergenerational transfer options. Our approach combines legal documentation with financial planning to maximise estate value for beneficiaries while maintaining compliance with tax regulations.
Trust Setup
We establish Flexible Life Interest Trusts and Discretionary Trusts to protect assets and control inheritance distribution. Services include explaining trust types, preparing legal documentation, and registering trusts with relevant authorities. Our expertise ensures assets transfer according to your wishes while providing tax efficiency and protection against care fees or bankruptcy.
Probate Administration
Comprehensive probate support covering estate valuation, tax calculations, and asset distribution. We assist with grant applications, debt settlement, and final estate administration. Our fixed-price service includes preparing legal accounts, coordinating with executors, and ensuring compliance with inheritance tax requirements while providing ongoing client support throughout the process.
