How our Wills, Trust & Probate solicitors can help

We specialise in the following departments:

Making a Will

Making a Will is an essential act in protecting your family and loved ones in the event of your death.

Our Probate Services

When someone close to you passes away, you need someone on your side to help with the probate process. Our probate solicitors offer expert guidance and support through every stage, assisting Executors in fulfilling their duties with confidence and care.

Our Trust Services

If you are looking to set a property or some money aside for the benefit of someone else, such as your children, then a trust may be a good idea. Trusts can be a useful tool in wealth and succession planning, but they are a highly complex legal area and should be created with the help of an experienced trusts Solicitor.

Making a Lasting Power of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document which allows a person to choose someone else to manage their affairs for them. Under an LPA the person who is chosen to be an attorney can be a friend, relative or a professional person.
