Wills and Probate

We aim to provide a personal, approachable and sympathetic approach to what can be a difficult time for clients.

Our services and areas of expertise include:

• Drafting Wills and Codicils - incorporating a Trust where appropriate (see our "Making a Will" guide)
• Obtaining Grants of Representation
• Preparing Deeds of Variation
• Trust administration
• Probate - the administration of estates (see our "When Someone Dies" guide)
• Lasting Powers of Attorney (see our "Powers of Attorney" guide)
• Court of Protection - appointment of Deputies/Public Guardianship Office applications
• Applying to put in place a Statutory Will

Although much of the work we do can be carried out by phone or e-mail there are times when we will need to meet. We are happy to visit clients at home or to attend nursing homes and hospitals to take instructions for Wills, Power of Attorney and to provide general advice on what can sometimes be difficult circumstances.

The information sheets in the links above will provide you with more information about our services.
