"I dealt with Kareem Cole on behalf of an elderly person to arrange for will and Powers of Attorney to be drawn up. Kareem was very helpful, explained matters clearly, and very patient with the elderly person."
Advising on a multi-million pound estate that had a portfolio of 14 properties, which included residential properties, land for commercial use, and overseas property in Spain. There was a claim against the estate by the testator’s former partner, and there was a £200,000 liability to Capital Gains Tax to mitigate.
Advising on a £1.2 million estate where there was a £28,000 liability to Capital Gains Tax and reducing the liability to nil by completing a deed of variation to include additional beneficiaries and completing a deed of appropriation to benefit from multiple Capital Gains Tax allowances.
Acting on estate where the testator died leaving a valid simple Will but had failed to update their Will following the death of their wife. The testator’s death resulted in a complex intestacy with over 45 beneficiaries, all of which had to be traced and many were based abroad.
Advising a family following their father’s unexpected passing on the implications his intestacy resulted in an Inheritance Tax liability that would have required selling the family home to settle the liability. Subsequently preparing a deed of variation to pass the entire estate to the surviving spouse, thereby allowing the estate to pass free of Inheritance Tax and preserving the transferable Inheritance Tax allowances for the surviving spouse.
Acting on an estate that included several properties, cash assets held in a business and the estate was passing to the testator’s two children who were both minors.
Preparing Wills for a married couple who both had children from their previous relationships, and had agreed to ring fence specific assets for their respective children.
Preparing a Will for a person who was terminally ill, and no longer able to read or write.
Advising a married couple who had five children including one who was missing and another who was vulnerable due to living with a disability, around the benefits of leaving their estates into a discretionary trust.
Advising a married couple the potential impact of care fees on their estates in later life and preparing Wills to protect some assets, including a share of the family home, being subject to care fees should the surviving spouse need care, ensuring that some assets pass onto their children and grandchildren.

"Kareem met twice with my mother and myself. He explained clearly what a lasting power of attorney is, what the implications are, and how to apply to this. He was patient and considerate, particularly towards my mother who has mobility issues, and was prompt in getting in touch with us following our meetings."

"I used Pinney Talfourd as I needed a will in place urgently. From start to finish they were great & they fitted me in for appointment’s to ensure my will was in place on time. I used Kareem Cole (solicitor) he was very good at explaining everything in detail & gave examples to explain things to me easier. No question was a problem for him & I didn’t feel rushed & was put at ease throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend him."
Ms. M, Upminster
"Highly recommend Keeley as she is very knowledgeable, efficient and cares for her clients!"
