With home visits available across the UK, our solicitor-led team creates bespoke wills tailored to your specific circumstances.
Probate Services
We simplify the probate process with fixed-fee services that handle estate valuation, tax calculations, and asset distribution. Our team assists with complex cases involving trusts, property transfers, and contested wills. Clients benefit from our 2m professional indemnity insurance protection during estate administration.

We guide clients through creating property and financial affairs LPAs, plus health and welfare LPAs. Our services include certificate provision, registration with the Office of the Public Guardian, and advice on attorney appointment structures. We explain fee exemption rules for those on low incomes.

Our trust planning services protect assets against care home fees, marriage settlements, and benefit entitlement issues. We advise on property trusts, life assurance trusts, and other structures to safeguard inheritances. Clients receive clear explanations of different trust types and their tax implications.
