Why Choose Us?

  • Expert Advice with a Personal Touch

    With over three decades of experience in estate planning, we’ve worked with families across the UK, particularly those with significant estates, ensuring their inheritance is passed on as they wish, while avoiding costly mistakes. Our team listens to your needs and crafts a plan that works best for you.

  • Comprehensive Inheritance Services

    From managing inheritance tax and lifetime gifts to wills for co-habitees and complex business succession planning, we cover every aspect of estate protection. Our solutions ensure your assets are transferred efficiently, securely, and according to your wishes.

  • Tailored Solutions for Co-Habitees and Business Owners

    Co-habitees face significant legal challenges if they don’t have a will in place. Without proper planning, they could face legal battles, high costs, and double inheritance tax payments. We can help you create wills that protect your assets and ensure inheritance tax is only paid once. Business owners, we help utilise inheritance tax reliefs, currently allowing wealth preservation through Business Relief and other measures for generational transfers without time-based restrictions under current laws.

    Co-Habitees

    Co-habitees have no automatic legal claim to each other’s estate in the event of death. As of October 2024, they still cannot benefit from intestacy laws, which prioritize blood relatives. This means their partners may receive nothing unless a will is in place. Take advice now to protect your loved one. Download our “Co-habitees Inheritance Report” to learn more.

Questions answered

FAQs

01Why is planning important for co-habitees?

Co-habitees cannot inherit from each other under intestacy law, and disputes over estates can be expensive and uncertain. A will ensures your partner is legally protected.

02What inheritance tax reliefs are available for business owners?

We can help you utilise Business Relief to ensure your estate qualifies for tax-efficient transfers to future generations, reducing or eliminating inheritance tax on business assets.

03Why should I use your probate services instead of others?

Our experienced team offers competitive rates compared to London firms and heir hunters, while delivering high-quality expertise in complex probate cases.
