Our Services

That's why we specialise in Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning, providing comprehensive and personalised services to clients throughout the North West of England and further afield.

Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

Making your Will is a critical step in ensuring that your assets and possessions are distributed according to your wishes after you're gone. A Will is a legal document that allows you to specify who will inherit your assets, appoint guardians for your children, and even outline your funeral arrangements. Without a valid Will in place, the distribution of your estate will be subject to the laws of intestacy, which may not align with your wishes. Effective estate planning can help reduce potential tax liabilities, provide for vulnerable beneficiaries, and support charitable causes that are close to your heart.

Our experienced solicitors can guide you through the complex landscape of inheritance tax, helping you understand the available options for reducing potential tax liabilities. By implementing strategic estate planning measures, you can maximize the value of your estate and provide more for your chosen beneficiaries.

Probate & Estate Administration

Losing a loved one can be an emotionally challenging time, and dealing with the legal aspects of their estate can feel overwhelming. Our dedicated team specialises in probate and estate administration, providing compassionate and comprehensive services to guide you through this complex process.

As a brief outline, the probate and estate administration involves managing the affairs of a deceased person, adhering to the legal requirements of the probate process, fully accounting the estate assets and liabilities for probate and Inheritance tax purposes, calculating and reducing any Inheritance tax that may be due, applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, and distributing the deceased's assets in accordance with their wishes.

Our experienced solicitors have in-depth knowledge of probate law and can assist you with every aspect of the probate process and wider legal issues that may arise. Whether you need assistance with applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, our team is here to provide guidance and support throughout the estate administration process.
