Do you have children?

Do you have a Partner?

Do you own Property?

If so it is vital that you make a will.   If you die without having made a will, there is no guarantee that the members of your family whom you wish to benefit from your estate, will do so.

Why leave it to chance and create emotional difficulties for your loved ones.  We will be pleased to draft a straightforward single Will please contact our offices to arrange a fixed fee.   We also offer a Wills On Line Service for a reduced rate.

If you have been devastated by the loss of a loved one, we appreciate that this is a difficult enough time emotionally without also having the burden of unravelling their financial affairs.

We have the expertise at Clarkson Hirst to assist you in obtaining Probate or Letters of Administration.  Compassion and understanding is the hallmark of our service.

We also offer an Inheritance Tax planning advice service.  Inheritance Tax is the tax on your estate when you die.  Presently, if you die leaving assets worth in excess of £300,000.00 then subject to certain exemptions you would have to pay Inheritance Tax at the rate of 40% on the excess.  It is possible to plan you affairs to mitigate the Inheritance Tax bill or avoid it all together.  You could save up to £120,000.00.  We offer a range of options including discretionary trust arrangement or a special power of appointment to facilitate variation of a Will to save inheritance tax.

With regard to the cost our usual fee for a Tax Planning Will is £500 +VAT and this will include preparing the severance of joint tenancy.
