Wills
Planning your Will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected. Without a Will, the law decides how your estate is divided – which may not reflect what you would have wanted. At Wills and Probate Solutions, I provide clear, straightforward guidance to help you set out your wishes in plain language, giving you peace of mind that your family and assets will be taken care of exactly as you intend.
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)
A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so in the future. There are two types – Property & Financial Affairs, and Health & Welfare – covering everything from managing finances to making crucial care decisions. I’ll guide you through the process of setting these up so you can rest assured that the people you trust most will be able to act in your best interests when you need them to.
Grant Applications
Applying for a Grant of Probate (when there is a Will) or a Grant of Letters of Administration (when there isn’t) can be a complex and daunting process. Whether dealing with inheritance tax, HMRC accounts, or legal statements, I can manage the application on your behalf – ensuring everything is prepared correctly and submitted through the HMCTS portal. My support helps to relieve the pressure at what is often a very difficult time.
Estate Administration
Once a grant has been obtained, the next step is to administer the estate – collecting in assets, settling any liabilities, and distributing what remains to the rightful beneficiaries. I provide a complete, fixed-fee service for estate administration, handling the legal and practical tasks so you can focus on your family. My approach is personal and flexible, ensuring the process runs smoothly and with the dignity it deserves.
