Private Client Department
Domestic conveyancing
We have long experience in helping clients through the maze of conveyancing. We have dealt with thousands of properties, both locally and nationally, and have extensive experience of dealing with London property (both leasehold and freehold).
We can deal with re-mortgages, lease extensions, equity release schemes and all other aspects of conveyancing work.
When Home Information Packs become compulsory we intend to be able to provide the necessary paperwork as quickly as possible so as to prevent unavoidable delays in marketing your property.
Wills and Inheritance Tax Planning
Everyone should make a will to ensure that their money and property goes to the right people on their death. Clients with young children can appoint guardians for them.
With increasing house prices, more and more people are feeling the impact of Inheritance Tax. We can advise on structuring wills so as to minimise liability, and can help you through other steps that can be taken to ease the burden.
Powers of Attorney
Everyone should consider who will look after their affairs in the event of incapacity. We can advise you of the best ways of dealing with these problems, which can often be resolved flexibly and inexpensively. We can also help in situations where no Power of Attorney has been set up.
Deceased Persons’ Estates
Dealing with such matters can often present a daunting task, especially if Inheritance Tax and Trusts are involved. We have lengthy experience of working in this field, and can either provide the guidance you need or we can take on the task of dealing with an estate from start to finish, whatever its complexity, to fit in with your requirements
