Wills, Trusts, Probate and Inheritance Planning

We are suprised how many people do not have a will. The consequences of dying without a will can be surprising, depending upon your marital status and the value of your estate.

These documents are normally inexpensive and quick to prepare, although a few are complex and involve Inheritance Tax planning. If you cannot get in to see us, we will come out to see you, for a small extra charge. Wills are very important because they control how the assets you leave behind when you die will be dealt with. We draft many wills and have the expertise to cover all situations for UK residents.

If your estate is over a certain value, it may be liable to Inheritance Tax. There are steps that can be taken to reduce the liability for the tax, and some of these can be quite simple and inexpensive to implement. If you would like to discuss this with us, we will normally suggest an initial interview for an agreed fee, and during that interview can give you the alternative strategies, and any likely future costs. We have extensive experience in tax planning and trusts.
 

If you have a relative who has recently died, you may need or want help with the administration of his or her estate, in particular the taxation. We can either deal with the estate from beginning to end, or ant part of it – to suit you. We have an efficient department to deal with this type of work, and a well deserved reputation for getting the job done without delay. You will find our estate accounts very easy to understand, we are always on hand to help with questions during the progress of the administration. We will always deal with the administration of estates in a business like, yet sympathetic manner.
