Will Writing
Basic Wills are for those wishing to avoid the rules of intestacy and make the distribution of their estate easier for their family and beneficiaries. We offer a professional Will writing service that helps with planning and distribution of an individual’s estate.
Power Of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) specifically deals with the appointment of one or more people to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so. If you lose capacity, someone needs to act on your behalf to carry out your personal and financial affairs.
Will Storage
We can securely store your Wills, Lasting Power of Attorneys and Title deeds for a small yearly charge. This entitles you to re-write your Wills as many times as you require this ensures that your Will is always up to date with your current circumstances.
Probate
You may need to apply for Probate which allows you to deal with an estate. As an Executor you may need to apply to the Probate Court for a Court Order to allow you to deal with the deceased persons estate.
Inheritance Tax Planning
Inheritance Tax is paid if a person’s estate is worth more than £325,000 when they die. This is called the ‘Inheritance Tax threshold’. We can protect your assets ensuring any tax payable is kept to a minimum.
Funeral Planning
A funeral plan is an easy way to plan ahead. You choose the funeral you want and fix the cost of your funeral director’s services at today’s prices. A plan can save your family worry and expense at such a difficult time.

What my clients say:
After long deliberations about making a will, we finally arranged for Caroline to visit us in our own home to discuss the options. Caroline was extremely professional, offering her vast experience and knowledge in this field and making the whole process far easier than i ever imagined. Caroline came out of hours to suit us and guided us through the process which was at a very reasonable price and far cheaper than i expected. We even have our wills stored securely and can be amended whenever we require.
I cannot praise Caroline enough and would encourage anyone contemplating making a will to do it now and give Caroline a call. You will not be disappointed and you will rest assured your assets are safe and will go to the ones you love.
Caroline’s professionalism and kindness made the subject easier to talk about, especially in the comfort of our own home. Caroline truly deserves my most sincere recognition.
