What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials


Certainly, we can assist in reducing your inheritance tax through various methods, including will writing and establishing trusts. By evaluating your financial situation, property, and family circumstances, we create a plan that addresses your concerns about children, spouse, and other beneficiaries. Our approach focuses on simplifying the process, offering you comfort and control over your estate’s future. This ensures that your decisions are honoured, and your estate is managed efficiently to minimise tax implications.

To ensure the validity of a will, it must adhere to the following criteria:

  1. It should be created by an individual who is at least 18 years old.
  2. The creation of the will must be a voluntary act, free from any external coercion.
  3. The individual drafting the will should be of sound mind, fully understanding the document’s nature and its contents, including awareness of their assets and the potential beneficiaries.
  4. The will must be documented in writing.
  5. The individual creating the will must sign it in the presence of two witnesses.
  6. These two witnesses must also sign the will while in the presence of the person who has made the will, subsequent to its signing by the creator.

Estate planning involves preparing a document to manage the distribution of property and inheritance after death. It includes important tasks such as appointing an executor, setting up guardianship for dependents, and often involves a lawyer. The aim is to ensure one’s legacy and wealth is protected or distributed as desired.

It’s recommended to review your will every three to five years or after significant life events like marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or a change in financial circumstances. Regular reviews ensure that your will reflects your current wishes and circumstances.

  1. Initial Contact and Consultation: The first step is to make an enquiry with us. We will then arrange a call for a detailed discussion. You can then choose between a home visit or a video call, based on your preference and location. 

  2. Drafting and Review: After the initial consultation, receive the first draft of your will via email within a week. After you have reviewed this draft, you may suggest any edits or changes you require.

  3. Finalisation and Signing: Once you are satisfied with the draft, we will finalise your will. All that’s left now is to sign the document in the presence of two witnesses to make it legally binding.
