Estate planning starts with an effective Will.
We are experienced in the drafting of Wills for clients with
complex affairs, but equally we are able to accommodate clients
whose affairs are less complicated.
We can provide specialist
advice on inheritance tax planning to help you protect and
pass down your family wealth and minimise the impact of tax
on the next generation. Inheritance tax is not just a concern
for the seriously wealthy, it is a worry for many people but
we can advise you on all aspects of planning from lifetime
planning to outright gifts, gifts into trusts and tax efficient
wills.
In the administration of estates we are able to provide
executors and administrators with a complete service, including
the preparation of tax returns and estate accounts, as well
as post-death tax planning. In the event of any contentious
issues arising or a claim being made against the estate, our
Litigation team is experienced to advise on such matters.

- Will
drafting
- Inheritance tax advice
- Personal tax and estate planning
