Non Contentious - Estates

The administration of an estate can be a time consuming and complex task, particularly where the HMRC is involved. With Inheritance Tax affecting more and more people, it is essential that an estate is dealt with quickly and efficiently and makes the most of all available tax exemptions and reliefs. An Executor's task is not an easy one, but our specialists are available to make the process as efficient and reassuring as possible.

We have Solicitors who are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), the Probate section of the Law Society and Solicitors for the Elderly.

We offer Executorship and Trustee services. If there are business or agricultural assets involved, it is extremely important that specialist advice is sought to minimise tax liabilities and business disruption.
