About

Provided by Boyes Turner

Our wills, trusts and probate team helps clients to protect and preserve their wealth for the benefit of their family and loved ones. Whatever your stage in life and whatever your personal and financial circumstances, we can work with you to make or update your will (including where relevant the establishment of trusts), ensure you have appropriate powers of attorney in place and also support you with a wider estate planning service.

We also guide clients throughout the process of probate and estate administration and can help to successfully resolve any contentious matters or disputes that may arise.

We regularly advise business owners, landowners and families with family members who have a physical or learning disability. We have particular specialism working with elderly clients and those more vulnerable members of society who need support in relation to community care issues.
