Wills and Inheritance Tax Planning

One of the firm’s largest departments deals with all aspects of trying to ensure, so far as is possible, that your assets are dealt with, in accordance with your wishes in the event of your death.

Sarah Allen, a solicitor with many years’ experience, heads our probate department.

Wills and inheritance tax planning

Most wills are straight forward but making an appointment for advice on preparing your will may highlight areas where we feel that specialist advice is required and you can rest assured that we are able to provide that advice.

Failure to take good timely advice may lead to the Inland Revenue taking a larger slice of your estate than you would have wanted.

For advice on will disputes, see our dispute resolution page.
