Our estate planning and inheritance services
A well-crafted will is essential for ensuring your wishes are honoured. Our experts assist in drafting and updating wills to reflect your current circumstances and intentions.
Establishing trusts can be an effective way to manage and protect your assets. We guide you through setting up appropriate trust structures tailored to your needs.
Navigating inheritance tax laws can be complex. We offer strategic advice to minimise tax liabilities, utilising available reliefs and exemptions to preserve your estate’s value.
We can help you put a lasting power of attorney (LPA) in place to ensure someone you trust can manage your finances or make care decisions if you lose capacity. We also advise attorneys on their legal duties and act as professional attorneys where needed.
If a lasting power of attorney isn’t in place, we can support you with Court of Protection applications and ongoing deputyship matters to help you manage your loved one’s affairs.
We provide support through the probate process, offering fixed-fee services for straightforward cases and comprehensive assistance for more complex estates.
If there is a fall out, our contentious probate specialists will provide sensitive, pragmatic and cost-effective support to guide all parties towards a fair resolution.
Working alongside our corporate team, we can help with succession planning to ensure your business’s future success and stability. We can also help you appoint someone who will be able to run the business in case you lose capacity by setting up a business lasting power of attorney.
Several members of our team have expertise in specialist areas such as Sharia-compliant wills, cross-border estates and the management of international assets.
We’re highly experienced in trust work, from setting up and supporting charities to advising on personal injury trusts and vulnerable beneficiary trusts. We work closely with organisations such as Mencap, which supports families of children with learning disabilities to ensure that the right legal frameworks and documentation are in place to safeguard future needs.
Members of our team belong to the Association of Lifetime Lawyers, a network of professionals committed to helping older and vulnerable people access the legal advice they need. Neil Shaw is a recognised Dementia Champion, and other members of our team are trained Dementia Friends, ensuring we offer support with empathy as well as expertise.
