Probate

When someone has died, we can offer a thorough and professional service together with a sympathetic approach to help you at this stressful time.

Lasting Power of Attorney

What would happen to your financial affairs if you suffered a stroke or were injured in an accident whereby you were incapable of managing your own affairs?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a document which would enable someone close to you to handle your affairs and to sign any documents that are necessary on your behalf without having to involve the Court of Protection to appoint a receiver of your affairs and, therefore, at a much lower cost.

Court Of Protection Work

If someone has lost their mental capacity and a Lasting Power of Attorney is not in force, then we are experienced in making applications to the Court of Protection for the appointment of someone to handle the financial affairs of anyone who is no longer capable of doing so.
