Wills and Probate

Making a Will

Too many people assume that the law will provide for their loved ones in the event of their death, and that Wills are complicated. In fact the law of intestacy (which applies if a person dies without making a Will) is itself complex and will often have undesirable results. Making a will is straightforward.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney confers authority on someone else to take action on your behalf, for instance if you are too ill or infirm to deal with your own affairs. We can help prepare one for you.

Tax Advice and Estate Planning

Inheritance Tax was once something only the very wealthy had to consider but now it affects far more people. Careful tax planning can help make the most of your available allowances.
