Wills, Trusts, Probate & Taxation

When people die without having made a will, the consequences of this invariably add to the distress and expense of the family and friends left behind.

For example, the spouse of the deceased may not inherit the whole estate, an unmarried partner may receive nothing at all, guardians cannot be appointed for children, or where no relatives can be found, the whole estate will pass automatically to the crown.

To ensure that you have full control over what happens to your assets when you die, Chebsey & Co offer sensitive, practical guidance in all areas of will making and estate planning. By considering all aspects of your financial affairs when drawing up your will, we can also advise you regarding opportunities offered by lifetime planning and how best to exploit your
assets and minimise Inheritance Tax.

We are experienced in dealing with the speedy administration; many clients choose to appoint us as executors of their will, confident in the
knowledge that this role will be performed sympathetically and efficiently.
