Welcome to our information centre
Wills, trusts, LPAs, probate, Inheritance Tax, guardians, executors, trustees.....wow – how is anybody supposed to understand it all? Well, that’s where our information centre comes in.
We’ve prepared a library of factsheets and videos for you. We aim to help demystify the process of making a Will, and estate planning more generally. Build up your own picture of what you might need, and find out what a difference getting the right kind of Will in place can make.
Then give us a call for a no-obligation consultation where we’ll add some professional advice tailored to your situation into the mix.

Why do we actually need to make Wills?
Well here are five good reasons to make a Will (there are many more...)
How to choose a Guardian
Many people worry who would raise their children if they died, and who on earth to ask. This will help.
Reviewing your current Will
Are you wondering whether you need to review or change your Will? Fill this in, send it back to us and we’ll let you know our thoughts
Property Trusts
Find out why leaving your property to your partner in your Will might not be the best thing. By using a Property trust in your Will, you can protect it against being lost of they remarry or go not long term care.
Discretionary Trusts
There may be all sorts of reasons why you want someone to benefit from your Will, but you don’t want them to have unfettered access to their inheritance. We understand, and here’s what you can do (with some useful tax benefits thrown in)
Vulnerable Person’s Trust
Find out why leaving your property to your partner in your Will might not be the best thing. By using a Property trust in your Will, you can protect it against being lost of they remarry or go not long term care.
Flexible Life Interest Trusts
Do you want your spouse to benefit from your estate, including money, but want to be certain that it will pass to your children if she remarries or goes into care. A FLIT might be the answer, and there are some useful tax benefits
REQUEST A CONSULTATION
We may be stating the obvious, but we like to engage and consult with our clients rather than sell to them.
The ‘hard sell’ is not in either of our best interests and would be particularly distasteful when dealing with some of our more vulnerable clients.
Our initial consultation with you is very much about getting to know you and helping you to understand what your options are.
We value your privacy and would never spam you
