Founded in 1989, we aim to offer all of our clients an efficient and effective service. We deal with matters locally and we are able to see you on weekends and evenings if the matter is urgent. We aim to offer fees at a level that more people can afford such as drafting of simple wills and fixed fee probate for estates with a low value. Most of our fees are lower than online firms or firms outside of London. We are not a "virtual firm" with leased premises or no office. The photo on our contact page is our firm not a pretty view of the city or some harbour.
Services
Wills
Report
Make a will today to ensure that your money, property and possessions are arranged for after your death. You must then come into the office to review and sign your will. There will be two people present in the office to witness this. Once completed, you must keep the will in a safe place. We can keep the original will in the office if you would prefer (we do not charge for storage) and we will give you as many copies as you would like.
Remortgages
Report
Where you are not borrowing in a company name, our fees will probably be: 345 plus VAT (414). If you are remortgaging through a company we will charge a higher rate (300 plus VAT (360) in addition). Where you are not borrowing in a company name, our fees will probably be: 445 plus VAT (534). We charge an additional 100 plus VAT (120) for every 250,000 by which the mortgage exceeds 500,000.
Probate
Report
You must apply for probate to gain the legal right to deal with someone's estate when they die. If you are an executor under someone's will, you may need to obtain a Grant of Probate to be able to deal with the deceased's affairs e.g. If no will has been left (or a will has been left without appointing executors) we will need to check whether you are entitled to apply for a grant of letters of administration. If no inheritance tax is payable, once you provide us with the information required, we can usually submit the application to court within one week.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Report
You may be unable to make important decisions for yourself as you get older or in cases of illness, disability or after an accident. To prepare for these situations, you should make a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to allow someone you trust to make decisions based on your health and welfare or property and financial affairs.
