Wills for a couple in a second marriage who wished to sever their joint tenancy of their property, so that they held their property as tenants in common instead, so that they could provide the surviving spouse with a Life Interest over the first spouse to die’s property share, whilst providing in the wills that each spouse’s property share would ultimately pass to their own children of their first marriages.
A Will for a testator who wished to leave a share of her estate on a Discretionary Trust to be managed by Trustees instead of passing directly to vulnerable/financially irresponsible children.
Advising the executors of an estate worth in excess of £30 million that contained a wide range of assets, including a large property portfolio and overseas assets, the majority of which passed to a number of registered charities.
Advising the executor of a high value estate that contained unquoted shares in a limited family company, making a claim for business property relief and successfully negotiating with HMRC to maximise the availability of the relief.
Advising the beneficiaries of an Estate on the use of a Deed of Variation to re-direct part of the Estate to a Flexible Life Interest Trust in favour of the surviving spouse to mitigate the Inheritance Tax payable from the Estate.

"The work you did for me was excellent and the work a few years ago conducted by one of your colleagues was excellent too.”
Mrs S Harrison
“We both thank you and your colleagues for helping get us through a complex financial situation so smoothly. I would gladly recommend your Firm to anyone in need of Solicitors in Essex!”
Mr P Cass
“I strongly recommend both your probate and conveyancing services to anyone who finds themselves in our unenviable position. Your advice to us from the first meeting onwards was reassuring, explanations as to what was required from our side were helpful and necessary, and your professional expertise steered us away from the unpleasant quick-sands of time lost and potentially costly mistakes made. Thank you again.”
Mr J Cass
“Thank you for your email Laura and for all your help and advice with everything I had to do following John’s death. I often didn’t have a clue what to do for the best but you always took the time to explain things to me (often 2 or 3 times!) in order to ensure I understood things more clearly. Thank you again. It was a pleasure meeting you.”
Mrs L Blower
