Trusts & Estates

We deal with a significant number of trusts, the creation of which can have various tax advantages. We also guide clients through the legal complications of administering estates, which can be an added burden at a time of bereavement.

Our lawyers offer expertise in all areas of trusts and estates, including:

  • probate and adminstration of estates
  • personal and business taxation
  • wills and inheritance tax planning
  • disputed wills
  • claims under the Inheritance Act
  • trust creation and administration, including preparation of accounts and dealing with taxation matters
  • special needs attorneys
  • power of attorney including enduring powers of attorney
  • mental health receivership: statutory wills

If disputes arise about inheritance, we can advise you and, if it proves necessary, conduct litigation. Involving us at an early stage can avoid costly legal action, either through negotiation or by obtaining directions from the Court.
