Wills, Trusts & Probate


The importance of making a will cannot be emphasised enough. Each will is tailor made for you, taking into consideration your personal financial circumstances, family, commitments and the possible incidence of taxation and in particular Inheritance Tax.


After a death it is important to those who are left behind that the estate is administered with sympathy as well as with efficiency. It involves obtaining valuations of all the assets of the estate, agreeing the tax liability, applying for the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration in the event that there is no will) and then with the benefit of the Grant gathering in the assets of the estate and administering them according to the will or according to law as the case may be.

In some cases a trust may arise under the provisions of a will or an intestacy and that trust could last for many years. It will normally require the advice and assistance of a solicitor and in many cases a skilled financial adviser. In dealing with the personal affairs of clients it is appropriate to mention Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection Orders. These are normally granted to enable relatives, friends or professional advisers to administer the affairs of elderly or infirm persons who, for whatever reason, are unwilling or unable to manage their own affairs.

Divorce and Family Law


It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all marriages or relationships are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to dissolve the marriage or relationship and to obtain a formal decree of divorce or judicial separation.


If there are children of the family under 18 years of age the court must be satisfied that proper arrangements are being made for their welfare. A fair division of the family assets, including the matrimonial home, must be worked out. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation between solicitors and agreement between the parties. We emphasize negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principles of matrimonial law to the special circumstances of each individual case.

We can also advise you on family protection, domestic violence, injunctions, wardship, adoption, child and care proceedings.

Many clients wishing to take proceedings or oppose in matrimonial or child cases will be eligible for Legal Aid and assistance can be given in completing the necessary forms of application.
