In difficult and emotionally challenging times, we provide a personal, sensitive and sympathetic service. LGP Solicitors aim to work closely with you to help make these matters as straightforward as possible whilst minimising the stress involved. Our flexible service often involves visiting clients at home, in hospital or at a nursing home.

Wills & Trusts
Well prepared Wills and Living Wills are essential yet most people are not aware of the financial and practical implications of dying intestate (without a Will) or with a badly drafted Will. We like to create the certainty that allows you to provide for the people you care for and ensure that the estate does not unintentionally go to those you do not want to benefit, including the Government.

Estate and Tax Planning & Management and Trusts
Our extensive estate management services include Inheritance Tax planning. We can work with you and your family to design a tax-efficient solution that suits you. Using a combination of trusts, life time transfers and your Will, we can create cost-effective solutions whether your estate is large or small. We can also advise on Capital Gains Tax implications and Home Equity Release plans.

Powers of Attorney
There are many situations where you might want someone to act on your behalf, whether through age, illness, accident or even for when you are overseas. We can help you with the most sensible way to approach a Power of Attorney, provide advice on the scope of the power to ensure you have the right documents in place and offer help with the Court of Protection procedures where necessary.

Probate
We provide valuable advice on Probate and all aspects of the administration of an estate, including post death variations that might benefit beneficiaries or the estate as a whole. We strive to ensure that a smooth and efficient probate process leads to early settlement. Depending on the complexity of the estate, we can help you obtain a Grant of Probate or we can coordinate and manage all the steps involved for you if you prefer. We can assist you throughout the process up to final distribution of the estate to the beneficiaries.
