Our Services

Wills

Not every adult has a Will but all adults should, especially if they have property and other assets of their own. Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your estate (everything you own) will go to the people that you want it to go to. In addition, if you have young children, it is very important to make a Will so that you can ensure that the right people are appointed to look after your children in the event of you and/or your partner not being around.

Estate Planning

As we get older, many of us start to think about how we can protect our assets so that as much of our estate as possible can be left to our loved ones. This might mean reducing/eradicating inheritance tax (IHT) from our estate or it might mean that we want to stop people or organisations using our money/property in a way that we would prefer them not to. We can show you ways of protecting your assets.

Lasting Power Of Attorney

Unfortunately, as we get older, some of us will struggle to look after ourselves and make decisions for ourselves like we once found easy. If we weren’t able to do so, we would want those we love and trust to be able to help us in later life. The only way to guarantee that the right people are appointed is to make a Lasting Power of Attorney. We can arrange this for you.

Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

The cost of paying for our funerals is rising each year and by 2027 it is estimated that the average cost of a UK funeral will be well above £7,000. A pre-paid funeral plan will fix the cost of your funeral at today’s prices ensuring that, your loved ones don’t end up paying more than necessary for your funeral and also ensuring that some of the additional stress of arranging a funeral has been taken care at what is already a sad and emotional time.

Probate and Estate Administration

Losing loved ones is never easy and many find the burden of sorting an estate out after death of a loved one, difficult too. We can assist you with much of the administration involved, handling the probate and estate process in a professional and efficient manner.
