Financial Planning
We plan ahead in so many areas of our lives – whether planning a family, a career
or the next holiday. It’s important to also plan ahead to leave a legacy of our
homes and finances as well as planning for a time when we may not be able to make
decisions for ourselves.
This could happen at any time to any of us, don’t wait to reach old age or infirmity
as unfortunately we can’t predict when death or loss of capacity might occur.
Every adult should have a Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney to ensure they and
their family are protected in the future. Yet 70% of the population have not put
these important documents in place.

Wills
There are many reasons to make a Will:
- choose your executors
- appoint guardians for your children
- make gifts to family and friends
- inheritance tax planning
- create trusts to protect vulnerable relatives
- set out your funeral wishes
- give to charity
- avoid family disputes
- give personal belongings or jewellery
Our specialist Will Service
makes writing a Will easy and affordable.
Lasting powers of attorney
As the UK population gets older and older Alzheimer's and Dementia are becoming
increasing problems. We can lose our mental capacity at any time and an essential
part of planning for the future is setting up
lasting powers of attorney.
Living wills
A Living Will acts as a guide to Courts, relatives and doctors
in the event of a serious health problem where your quality of
life is very poor and you cannot give instructions to the doctors.
Volume Wills
If you are interested in setting up a Will Scheme for your employees please check
out our Volume Wills Service.
Deputyships
A Deputy is a person appointed by the
court of protection to manage the property and affairs or personal welfare
of another person who lacks the mental capacity to take such decisions. We make
applications for the appointment of Deputies, administer deputyships and in appropriate
cases act as professional Deputy. Please see our Guide to
Court Appointed Deputies. If you have any queries, please send them to us
by email using our online enquiry form
Inheritance tax advice
You can reduce
Inheritance Tax through careful planning and the
use of Wills and Trusts. We offer specialist advice
to help you plan effectively.
Probate
We understand that bereavement is an incredibly difficult time. Our Probate Service
takes away some of that burden. We provide support in dealing with the paperwork
no matter what the size of the estate. We believe that communication is invaluable
to providing a fast and efficient service and so we keep you in the picture at every
stage.
For further information on probate read our guide.
Trusts
Trusts are used in a multitude of different situations. You may be searching for
a legal strategy to a problem and not yet have identified that a trust will provide
the answer.
For example trusts can be used to regulate the way two or more people own a property
or to safeguard children in a Will or even to preserve personal injury compensation.
Trusts often involve very technical legal and tax knowledge. Our specialist team
of solicitors use their expertise to ensure your finances are safe guarded for you
and your family.
