Our friendly team will tailor advice to your specific circumstances, and always treat our clients in the utmost confidence, with sensitivity and compassion.

​
We offer a range of services from a basic Will writing service starting at £24.99 to a full estate planning service with inheritance tax planning. Writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones, and having a valid and up to date Will in place means that your estate can be effectively and efficiently dealt with in accordance with your wishes. Our Will & Estate Planning Consultants can also advise you on how you can set up a Will to minimise any inheritance tax liability. The law surrounding inheritance tax can be highly complex and confusing, and errors in tax planning can have huge consequences which could leave your beneficiaries in financial difficulty. Instructing a professional Will & Estate Planning Consultant ensures your affairs will be in good hands. By having a valid Will in place you can ensure that those you care about are provided for. Where you already have a Will in place, it is important to review it at least every five years to ensure it still reflects your wishes, your current financial and family situation and any changes in legislation. If there are any changes in your life, such as marriage, divorce, separation or a new baby, you should get in touch with a Will & Estate Planning Consultant at the earliest opportunity to review your Will. The fact is that, if you die without a valid Will, the law will decide how your possessions are to be divided up amongst your family. This can cause a host of problems for your loved ones, both financially and emotionally, and can involve an expensive probate process.
