Wills and Estate Planning

We help individuals and families plan for the future by preparing clear, carefully considered wills that reflect their wishes and personal circumstances. Our services include drafting new wills, reviewing existing arrangements, appointing executors, and advising on how assets are to be distributed to beneficiaries. We also help clients consider guardianship wishes for minor children and prepare powers of attorney and other relevant planning documents. Whether you are making your first will or updating your plans following a significant life event, we provide practical guidance to help you make informed decisions and provide for the people who matter to you.

We guide executors and administrators through the legal and practical responsibilities involved in managing a deceased person’s estate. Our services include assisting with applications for probate or letters of administration, identifying estate assets and liabilities, and advising on the distribution of the estate under a valid will or the applicable intestacy rules. We help clients understand their duties, prepare the necessary documents, and address issues that arise throughout the administration process. With clear advice and a considered approach, we aim to ease the administrative burden during a difficult time and help bring the estate to an orderly conclusion.

We provide advice and representation to beneficiaries, executors, and family members when disagreements arise over a will or the administration of an estate. Our services include assisting with disputes concerning the validity or interpretation of a will, concerns about an executor’s conduct, and claims for further provision from an estate. We explain the available options and help clients understand the factors relevant to their circumstances, including any applicable time limits. Through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings where necessary, we work towards a resolution that protects our clients’ interests while recognising the sensitive family relationships often involved.
