Help with Probate

This is an important and fundamental service which is provided on the death of a loved-one. ‘Probate’ is the phrase used by solicitors to mean the distribution of someone’s assets (known as their ‘estate’) after they have died and the process of obtaining the Grant of Probate, which is required before you can sell the assets and distribute elements of the estate to the chosen beneficiaries, can be a lengthly and complicated one.

Advice about Wills

Leaving a Will means you can be sure that everything will be dealt with in the way you wish following your death. Making a Will gives you enormous peace of mind. If you don't make a Will, the Intestacy Rules will govern how your estate is divided-up. They determine which of your relatives receives how much which can lead to some nasty surprises. Read more...

Advice about LPAs

When planning for the future, you may not consider the possibility of being unable to make decisions for yourself because of physical or mental incapacity. By preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) you can ensure that your best interests and finances are left in the hands of those you trust.
