Personal Law

Wills & Probate

Clear estate planning, lasting powers of attorney and sensitive administration of estates.

Overview

How we approach wills & probate

A well-drafted will removes ambiguity at the point it matters most. We take time to understand family structures, business interests and future intentions before drafting.

For bereaved families, we handle estate administration end to end, keeping executors informed and reducing the administrative burden during a difficult period.

Common situations

  • Writing a first will or updating one after a life change
  • Lasting powers of attorney for property and welfare
  • Trusts for children or vulnerable beneficiaries
  • Applying for a grant of probate
  • Resolving a disagreement between beneficiaries

Our Process

Four stages, agreed in advance

A consistent structure applied to every matter in this fictional practice.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A structured first conversation where we map out your estate position, the outcome you want and the realistic routes to get there.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost agreement

    You receive a written plan setting out the work, who will carry it out and a transparent fee structure before anything begins.

  3. 03

    Strategy and progress

    Your named solicitor progresses the matter, negotiates on your behalf and updates you in plain English at every meaningful stage.

  4. 04

    Resolution and aftercare

    We conclude the matter, hand over a clear record of what was agreed and set out anything you should review in the future.
