plan your future.
How We Can Help You
Wills & Succession Planning
If you haven’t made a Will, who receives what, how much, and on what terms is determined by a set of rules, not your wishes. So things may not turn out as you wanted. And as bereavement is a difficult time for those involved, what’s required is clear, sympathetic and expert guidance to make sure that when the inevitable happens, the distribution of your assets or transfer of property takes place with smooth efficiency.
And that’s the benefit of appointing specialists to perform this service for you and your family.
Estate Management & Probate
If you want plain-speaking advice to arrange your estate for the future so you can reduce the impact of Inheritance Tax and ensure your assets end up where you intended, we can help. Or maybe you need to sort out a deceased relative's estate yourself by arranging to obtain a Grant of Probate, or deal cataloguing and valuing assets, and making sense of complex Trusts or other legal arrangements.
Our legal team work with our financial planners and accountants to provide effective inheritance tax strategies to our clients, and to manage estate and probate for clients.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
If you are ever in a situation where you can't manage your affairs yourself, you'll be pleased that you planned ahead by arranging a Lasting Power of Attorney.
Whilst we often think of mental incapacity as a problem affecting the elderly, it's something that can happen at any age. A stroke, accident or serious illness can leave us unprotected and vulnerable, and knowing that someone we trust is able to look after our affairs and ensure that our health and welfare are properly managed is a great comfort.

Trusts
Trusts are a secure way of having control over and allocating money to someone, both during your lifetime and long after you've passed on. Trusts can help you protect your assets, stay flexible, minimise tax and avoid probate. We use our expertise and combined services to ensure that our clients are getting the most out of their trust, that their money is soundly invested, and that they are meeting the complex requirements of ever-changing rules and legislation.
Our enquiry process
With over 280 years of legal experience as one of the UK's oldest practices, we work hard to understand every client's values, needs and goals - that's why we tailor our service to fit the individual.
We'll work to clarify the issues you face by providing sound and practical legal advice, all with the aim of protecting yours and your family’s future. Transparency is key, and so we'll make sure that you fully understand the service and cost of what we're providing to you.
Once you make an enquiry with us, a member of our team will be in touch with you using the details provided, to help us to understand your needs and discuss how we can help. If possible, we will provide you with details of our fees for the services that we offer.
