We have a strong commitment to provide an efficient and effective service to all our clients, based on each client’s personal requirements.

Matrimonial
We appreciate divorce and separation can have an impact on the whole family. We therefore aim to deal with such matters in a sensitive and professional manner to minimise distress for both parties concerned and aim to ensure we achieve the best results for our clients.

We provide specialist advice on all aspects of matrimonial work and our service includes dealing with:-

• Separation and Divorce
• Property and Financial matters
• Arrangements for Children
• Mediation

Wills & Estate Planning:

Do you want to:

• Make a Will?
• Amend/alter your existing Will?

If so, we can assist. We have considerable experience and expertise and are well-equipped to advise on the best legal arrangements, which may include the use of trusts, in order to protect/maximise your family’s wealth and investment.

We aim to advise and guide clients on the legal aspects, including estate planning and taxation. A key part of estate planning is to take early action to reduce the impact of Inheritance Tax.

With careful planning much of the burden of Inheritance Tax can be avoided. Efficiently drafted Wills coupled with good financial management can provide enormous tax savings upon death. It is therefore extremely important to maximise the use of the available exemptions for tax through your Will, otherwise the exemptions can be lost, we can tailor your Will to ensure that this advantage is maximised.

Many people wrongly assume that they will not be affected by Inheritance Tax but with the recent rise in the property market, it is a good idea to seek advice on whether or not Inheritance Tax will apply to you. If it does, decisions made now can minimise the Inheritance Tax paid on your estate and so increase the amount left to your family on your death.
