Our Wills & Probate services and how we can help you

Wills and Probate services are not just about drafting a Will and administering an Estate – a lot of people often do not know all the other ways a Wills & Probate Solicitor can be of assistance when it comes to their personal affairs. Below are some of the many ways our specialist lawyers can help you:

• Wills Advice: Advising you on the Will that will best fit your needs and address your concerns. We provide clients with a Wills questionnaire which can help you decide what is most important to you and help us to understand your personal circumstances better and tailor our advice to you.
• Wills (and associated documents) drafting: drafting your Will according to your instructions and considering the advice you have received. We can also hold your Will at no extra cost to you, and you can request your Will at any time. Executors can also request a Will we are holding on behalf of a client who has passed away.
• Contesting or defending a Will (i.e. contentious probate)
• Setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Advice on and drafting of Advance Decision (Living Will): this is a written document that specifies your wishes regarding medical treatment in situations where you are incapacitated and unable to communicate your preferences. This document is crucial for ensuring that your healthcare choices are respected, especially in critical situations where life-sustaining treatments may be considered.
• Advising on trusts: to protect assets and property at home and abroad, ringfence children’s inheritance or give to charity while taking full advantage of the IHT reliefs available.
• Creating and/or administering trusts
• Probate and Estate administration
• Tax and Estate (Legacy) planning
• Business Succession Planning: business succession planning sits at the intersection of estate planning, tax, corporate law and family dynamics. We have experienced and specialised teams of corporate lawyers and family lawyers, as well as our network of experienced financial specialists collaborating to deliver this bespoke service.
