Wills, Probates and Trusts

A surprisingly high number of people fail to make a Will despite the difficulties this can create for family and friends after their death. Even more fail to take advantage of the opportunities to minimise the tax which will be paid on their Estate. We can draw up simple Wills for clients, or give more complex advice on tax planning, gifts and legacies, and trusts. Our charges start at £80 inc VAT for simple wills.

We offer a broad range of services, including:

• Wills and Inheritance Tax Planning
• Probate and Administration of Estates
• Trust creation and administration
• Powers of Attorney
• Claims under the Inheritance Act
• Disputed Wills
• Court of Protection
• Elderly client issues and advice

Before you consult us for the first time to draft a Will, you may find it helpful to complete a questionnaire to help us gather together all the relevant names and addresses and a brief summary of your assets.

For more information please telephone Cliff Veitch on (0191) 2329547.
