Services Offered

At Shirley Fretwell Solicitor, we specialise in four main areas of law:

1. Wills & Probate: We understand that creating a Will can be a daunting task, but it is an essential step in securing your family's future. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, helping you to make informed decisions every step of the way. We can also assist with Probate, administering estates, and providing guidance on Inheritance Tax.

2. Residential Conveyancing: Buying or selling a property can be a stressful experience, but our team is here to help. We offer comprehensive Residential Conveyancing services, handling all aspects of the transaction, from initial searches and negotiations to the exchange of contracts and completion. Our aim is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

3. Lasting Powers of Attorney: A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to make them for yourself. We can guide you through the process of creating an LPA, ensuring that your wishes are clearly expressed and legally binding.
