Within our Wills, Probate and Wealth Management Department we have the expertise to undertake estate and tax planning either through wills, trusts or in conjunction with financial advisers.

We can advise on and help set up trusts to reduce Inheritance Tax bills or to provide for minors and disabled beneficiaries.

The department is involved daily with the administration of estates, from routine cases to complex administrations involving variations of wills and intestacies to minimize the amount of Inheritance Tax which might otherwise be payable.

We can also deal with contentious disputes over estates large or small, as well as routine probate cases. Our team is regularly instructed by beneficiaries and executors in relation to:

• Will Challenges on the basis of capacity and financial influence;
• Challenges under the Inheritance  Act;
• Fraud and Undue Influence claims
• Asset recovery and Estate Freezing injunctions.

Whatever you require we have market leading experience in advising clients on how best to plan ahead, and are able to prepare and register Lasting Powers of Attorney for clients who want to ensure that their Health & Welfare and Property & Financial affairs will be properly managed by someone they trust in the event that they are unable to manage by themselves at some point in the future.
