Our private wealth solicitors can help with wills & estate planning, ensuring your assets are protected, your loved ones are supported and your future wishes are respected.
What is Wills & Estate Planning?
Wills & estate planning is the process of legally setting out how your assets, responsibilities and personal wishes will be managed both during your lifetime and after you pass away. It involves creating a will, appointing trusted individuals to act on your behalf and putting structures in place to protect your wealth and support your loved ones.
Effective estate planning provides certainty, reduces the potential for disputes and ensures your future intentions are carried out exactly as you wish. For many, it is a key step in achieving long term peace of mind and safeguarding their family’s financial well being.
Our Private Wealth team offers clear, professional guidance on all aspects of Wills & estate planning for individuals and families with assets in the UK. We support you in making informed decisions about how your estate will be structured and administered, ensuring your wishes are protected and giving you confidence that your affairs are properly in order.
Our Expertise
Will Drafting & Review
We prepare bespoke Wills that reflect your personal and family circumstances. Whether your priorities are to provide for loved ones, appoint trusted executors or leave charitable gifts, we ensure your Will is clear, valid and legally enforceable.
Estate Planning
We advise on the legal aspects of structuring your estate to make the administration process as straightforward as possible. Working alongside your financial or tax advisers if required, we ensure your plans are legally robust and compliant with the current inheritance tax framework.
Updating Your Will
Major life events like marriage, divorce, the birth of a child or a change in financial circumstances can all affect the validity or relevance of your Will. We offer ongoing advice to keep your Will up to date so that it continues to reflect your wishes.
Appointment of Executors & Guardians
Choosing the right people to manage your estate and care for minor children is essential. We help you understand the legal responsibilities of executors and guardians to ensure your choices are informed and practical.
Inheritance Act Claims & Dispute Avoidance
We provide guidance to help minimise the risk of disputes after death and can advise on the legal rights of dependants or family members under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
Who We Advise
- Individuals and couples with property, savings, or investments in the UK
- Families wishing to make clear provision for future generations
- Elderly clients seeking peace of mind through proper estate planning
- Executors and beneficiaries needing legal guidance on Will matters
Why Make a Will?
Without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes or family circumstances. By making a Will, you retain control deciding who benefits, who manages your estate and how your affairs are handled after your death.
Our experienced solicitors ensure the process is straightforward, confidential and fully compliant with UK law.
