Wills, Probate & Trusts

The benefits of drawing up a will are widely recognised as this allows you to make provision for the winding up of your affairs after death.

A written will has advantages for those who find themselves administering your estate and also gives you peace of mind knowing that you have selected as your executors the appropriate individuals best suited to the role. As such, our Wills, Probate and Trusts department is able to provide comprehensive advice to the private client with a knowledgeable and personal approach. Our team can help with succession and tax planning and making sure that you preserve your assets by minimising any taxes payable.

The Administration of Estates

Administering an estate involves dealing with all property, investments and other assets of the person who has died and settling their tax and other liabilities and then distributing the estate between the beneficiaries entitled under the deceased’s Will or in accordance with the intestacy rules. The burden of administering an estate and complying with all the legal requirements can be a very daunting task for anybody particularly at a distressing time following the death of a close relative. 

The specialist Private Client Department at Thomas Flavell & Sons has considerable experience in dealing with these matters and they will be able to guide and assist you on all the different aspects of administering an estate to whatever extent you require.

Why make a Trust?

Throughout their history trusts have been used to avoid or address problems in two main areas: taxation and domestic matters.

In your lifetime you can create a trust into which you can place chosen assets which you no longer need yourself. This reduces your own wealth and thus your exposure to Inheritance Tax.

For every family problem or situation there is a trust that can be constructed to suit the need. Creating the right type of trust to match your particular situation requires specialist help.

I met with several solicitors prior to reaching out to Thomas Flavell who all were only bothered about payment, never listened to my requirements and didn't understand that I needed a human to help me. Thomas Flavell are everything I was looking for. Beyond helpful, responded quickly and honestly to every query I had and just made my case seamless and smooth all the way. I cannot recommend Thomas Flavell enough and would use them again without hesitation. I would also recommend them to anyone as the top place to go for legal advice.

Very thorough and professional. Talked me through all the options. Used a questionnaire to get an outline of what I required. Talked to me through the Power of Attorney option as well. All done and subsequently updated until the final meeting.

We had put this task off for so long dreading it! But my husband and I found the solicitor, Vijay and his supporting team very understanding. They listened carefully to any concerns we had and made sure documents met our specific needs. Legal specific language was explained - no matter how many times we asked and the whole process was efficient and painless. Perfect.

We wanted to update our Wills and had a very constructive initial meeting with Saher and Zara. Saher listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve and gave us excellent advice. She was friendly and professional throughout the whole procedure, from that initial meeting until we returned to TFS to sign the documents.

We instructed Thomas Flavell to produce our Will and register LPA's. We found the service we received very good and efficient. Communication throughout has been excellent with any concerns dealt with quickly and reassurance received. Would recommend Hiren to others and Thomas Flavell's services.

A very efficient process. I have background and out-of-date knowledge of Wills and Inheritance Tax and my wife has very little knowledge on either subject. We were both very comfortable signing our Wills and the LPA's, having obtained all the explanations we needed.
