Wills, Probate, Estate Planning and Management

Our personal planning and management team provides legal advice, support and practical assistance on a range of services including:

• probate;

• care home fees advice;
• appointing Lasting Power of Attorney; and
• applying to be a Court of Protection Deputy.

Planning for the future

Our specialist team of Wills and Probate solicitors can assist you in planning for the future. Whether you need the peace of mind of knowing your family will be provided for after your death under the terms of your Will, you require tax planning advice to reduce the possible tax burden in the event of your death, or would like advice on Trusts or care home fees, then we can help.

Although it is not a pleasant situation to plan for, it is important to consider what would happen if you suffered a brain injury or mental illness that left you unable to make important decisions. Appointing someone now to be your attorney under a Lasting Power of Attorney in relation to your property and affairs or personal welfare issues, can ensure that it will be dealt with by people you trust.  For a brief guide to Lasting Powers of Attorney, click on the link on the left.  Our team of Wills and Probate solicitors will work through your requirements to provide a tailored solution based on your wishes.  

Helping you to help others

Perhaps you need support in helping someone else to deal with their property and affairs or personal welfare decision making? The individual may want to appoint you as their attorney under a Lasting Power of Attorney, or need you to apply to become their Court of Protection Deputy. If you are already their Attorney or Court of Protection Deputy and need professional support in fulfilling your responsibilities, this is also something we can assist with. Whatever your own personal circumstances, one of our Wills and Probate solicitors will provide you with advice you can rely on.

If you have been left to deal with the estate of someone who has passed away because you are the Executor appointed in the Will, or a close family member has died without making a Will, we can provide you with specialist advice and support throughout the matter.
