Wills, Trusts & Tax Planning

We are specialists in Wills and Trust Funds for the benefit of your chosen beneficiaries

What we can DO to help you:

We are one of the largest Private Client Teams in Hertfordshire and listed in The Legal 500 with extensive experience in all aspects of Will, Trusts and Inheritance Tax Planning areas.

We regularly deal with clients who have more than one family to consider, civil partners, unmarried couples, single people and clients who own property and businesses. We also have extensive cross-border experience and can advise on all domicile issues and the effect this will have on your Will, lifetime trusts and Inheritance Tax.

We can also incorporate trusts into your Will in order to preserve your assets and protect vulnerable members of your family. Similarly, we can draft and set up lifetime trusts for your family or other loved ones.

We offer a full Executor and Trustee service if you would prefer to appoint a professional to deal with your estate. We are happy to act on our own or with members of your family or friends.

We have lawyers who are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), the Law Society's Private Client Section, the Hertfordshire Law Society Trust and Probate Committee and Solicitors for the Elderly.
