Wills, Probates & Trusts

Our Wills, Probate and Trusts department is able to provide comprehensive advice to the private client with a knowledgeable and personal approach. The team, based in all three of our offices, can help with succession and tax planning and making sure that you preserve your assets by minimising any taxes payable.

The importance of making a Will cannot be underestimated, it is your opportunity to outline how your estate should be handled on your death. Our advisors have many years’ experience and are able to provide guidance in this complicated field. We also have specialist solicitors who can advise on inheritance and Will disputes.

You will find our Will Questionnaire linked at the bottom this page. If you would like to put in place a new Will please complete the questionnaire and return it to one of our offices and a member of staff will contact you to progress the drafting of your Will.

We believe in transparent pricing for our services and expertise, and as such you are welcome to view our indicative costs for private clients.
