Our Services
We are here to advise and support you with a wide range of personal and business legal matters.
Wills
Why do you need a Will?
To ensure your loved ones receive the inheritance you want to give them when you are gone.
If you die without a valid Will the law of Intestacy will decide what happens to your assets and this could be very different to what you want.
We can review your existing Wills to check that your existing plans are up to date.

Trusts
Will Trusts and Lifetime Trusts
By including Will Trusts within your Will it protects your beneficiaries to their inheritance.
In the event of remarriage a Will Trust means that assets will not pass to a new spouse.
Assets placed in a lifetime Trust ensures your beneficiaries receive the assets at a time that’s right for you and them.
Trusts can protect your loved ones and ensure that assets always stay within your family.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
There are two types of LPA – Property & Affairs and Health & Welfare
These allow you to nominate someone you trust to make important decisions and act on your behalf if you were not able to.
Without an LPA in place, if you were ill or not able to make your own decisions a court would decide who could act on your behalf.
A Lasting Power of Attorney can be arranged to cover business matters – who would manage your business if you were unable to?
IHT planning
HMRC requires any tax due on an estate to be paid before your beneficiaries can legally receive their inheritance. With careful early planning it is possible to lessen the burden of inheritance tax.
Assistance for Executors
Probate and Inheritance tax forms can be completed by yourself as the executor, however you may need some help and guidance with the procedure and the completion of the required forms.
Shareholders and Partnership Agreements
Shareholder agreements regulate the relationship between shareholders, it outlines rights and regulations and provides protection for each shareholder. For example, in the event of the death of a shareholder, what would happen to that shareholders shares?
Partnership Agreements give you and your business partners a clear understanding of the rules and arrangements applying to your business relationship. Without an agreement in place all partners are equal and must share the business profits and cover losses equally.
