Probate and estate administration

Following the death of a loved one, we can support you through the difficult process of administering their estate. We will help you understand your role as an Executor, make arrangements for the payment of Inheritance Tax and assist if there is no Will in place.

Challenging a Will

Occasionally a dispute can arise over the contents of Will; perhaps the deceased made verbal promises to you that have not been adhered to in their Will, or you believe they did not have capacity at the time of making their Will. No matter the reason, we can explain the best path available to you, whether you are eligible to bring a claim and the likely outcome, helping you move forward in your life.

Managing your affairs and Court of Protection

If a loved one has lost mental capacity and needs to put their Lasting Powers of Attorney into place, we can help you with the arrangements and ensure you understand your responsibilities as their Deputy. If there is no LPA in place, then an application will need to be made to the Court of Protection. Our expert Solicitors can guide you through this journey, meaning you can concentrate on other arrangements.

Property ownership

Buying a property with a partner or friend will be an exciting time, but it’s important that you are prepared should things go awry in the future. We can explain to you how a Declaration of Trust can protect your assets, and the difference between being tenants-in-common or joint tenants.
