We are different from other firms because we specialise solely in Probate, Inheritance Tax and Estate-Planning.

We are committed to providing you with a straightforward, old-fashioned service that puts you at ease, explaining everything in simple English. We flex our schedule for the daytime, or evenings or weekends to suit your availability, being prepared to meet you in person, communicating with you in the manner and frequency that suits you best, being flexible in doing as much or as little work as you feel comfortable with.
