Our wills, probate and estate services

Will writing

Writing a will is one of the most important ways to protect your assets and your loved ones. Our wills solicitors will take time to understand you and your family’s circumstances and unique needs, ensuring that your wishes are expressed in legally valid and clear language.

Whether your estate is complex or relatively straightforward, we can provide expert guidance every step of the way to ensure that complex arrangements are properly organised. As trusted wills and probate solicitors in Leeds and London, we can help you to avoid common delays and ensure your will stands the test of time.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows an individual of your choosing to make decisions on your behalf in the event that you become unable to do so yourself. There are two types of LPAs, which are the Property and Financial Affairs LPA and the Health and Welfare LPA, and we can help you to ensure either or both are in place to safeguard your future.

Our solicitors for wills and probate provide detailed and sensitive advice on selecting the right attorneys and structuring your LPA to reflect your unique preferences and values. We will confidently handle all the paperwork and registration process on your behalf.

Trusts and Inheritance Tax planning

By carefully planning today, we can help you reduce the Inheritance Tax burden that your family could face. Our expert solicitors advise on structuring trusts to protect your assets and support beneficiaries.

We tailor each solution to your circumstances and needs, which could include planning for vulnerable beneficiaries, young children, and passing on wealth in a tax-efficient way.

Care home fees

The expense of long-term care can quickly deplete your assets when not planned for. With careful consideration and the correct application of legal strategies, we can help you to protect your home and savings from excess care home fees.

Our wills and probate solicitors in Leeds and London offer expert insight into asset protection trusts, gifting strategies, and possible funding support. Early advice can make a significant difference and help your family control their inheritance.

Probate

Probate is the process of administering a deceased person’s estate. Our specialist probate solicitors in Leeds and London offer full support with probate applications, Inheritance Tax returns, estate administration, and asset distribution.

Whether you are dealing with complex assets or a simple estate, we can guide you with effective advice and clarity. As leading probate solicitors, we provide calm, compassionate assistance.

Court of Protection

If a loved one has lost or is losing the capacity to make decisions for themselves and does not have an LPA in place, you may need to apply to the Court of Protection to protect them. This includes making applications to become a deputy and making requests for one-off decisions, including selling property or managing gifts.

Our solicitors for wills and probate will oversee the legal complexities and advise on ongoing duties, ensuring that you and your loved ones are protected.

Contentious probate and inheritance disputes

Disputes over matters relating to wills, estates, or inheritance can be very upsetting and often arise in times of grief and vulnerability. We represent executors, dependants, and beneficiaries with a range of contentious probate matters.

Our wills and probate solicitors in Leeds and London are skilled at finding effective and cost-friendly solutions to disputes, typically using mediation wherever possible and litigation if necessary.
