How Can We Help You?
Our expert Wills & Probate solicitors are ready and waiting to assist you.
Creating a Will is important – it ensures everything you’ve worked for in life is passed on correctly to your loved ones as you wish. Our staff will ensure that your Will covers key eventualities.
Additionally, we help clients change their Wills or make additions (known as codicils). Wills must fulfil strict legal criteria to be valid, meaning it’s important to get legal advice to avoid any issues.
Having a professionally drafted Will can help:
- Create trusts to protect your assets
- Ensure your estate is tax-efficient
- Make sure your unmarried partner or stepchildren inherit
- Protect vulnerable family members
- Protect some of your property from being used to pay for care
- Leave money to charity
- Put your funeral wishes in writing
- Appoint guardians for your children
- Say who should look after your pets
- Avoid family disputes and heartache
Our probate solicitors can assist with probate matters to help you sort out the final affairs of someone who has passed away. We can offer a free 30-minute meeting (where we are storing the original Will) to discuss the estate administration process and provide initial advice.
We can help by assisting with:
- Tedious legal work
- Paperwork and processes
- Taking on as little or as much of administration of an estate as you wish
In addition to making a Will, we can help you plan for the future in other ways. We can advise you on making a Power of Attorney to appoint people you trust to make important decisions for you when you’re no longer able to do so independently.

At what age should you make a Will?
The right time to make a Will is now. Making a Will isn’t just for older people - we never know where life will take us so it's important to be prepared just in case. We recommend prioritising making a Will especially if you have someone who depends on you financially, like a child or vulnerable family member.
When should you make or update a Will?
You should consider making or updating your Will around every important life event. This includes getting married, divorced, adopting a child, buying a property, or retiring, to name a few. Certain events, such as marriage and divorce, will even impact the validity of your Will.
