Wills, Trusts and Probate
Our Wills, Trusts & Probate department has built up considerable
experience in relation to wills and the administration of estates.
Probate is an area of law in which the highest degree of sensitivity
and confidentiality is required, and we are proud of the service
we offer to our clients in this respect.
We charge on a fixed-fee basis, and
offer a one third discount when a legacy is left to a charity supported
by our charity wills scheme. Charities included in the scheme include Pasque
Hospice, Friends of Luton and Dunstable Hospitals, and the St
Albans Cathedral Campaign.
Our specialist department appreciates
the sadness which accompanies the death of a close family member
or friend and the uncertainty surrounding the steps that need to
be taken. Very often the legal issues are complex. We pride ourselves
on being sympathetic and understanding while dealing with the administration
of the estate as efficiently and practically as possible.
We are members of the Society
of Trust and Estate Practitioners and are recognised as being
able to give expert advice. We regularly advise private individuals,
couples, family businesses, trustees and beneficiaries on a variety
of topics relating to:
- wills
- trusts
- probate
- Inheritance Tax planning
- powers of attorney.
