It can be a real challenge knowing what to do with an estate, whether it’s your own or that of someone who has passed away. At SMR Solicitors, we provide clear, pragmatic support both for lifetime planning and administering estates after a death.

Our specialist Wills and probate solicitors in East Wittering have years of experience guiding clients through these important issues. We take a sensitive approach with advice tailored to your unique circumstances, so you can be confident in making the right decisions.

If you’re thinking ahead to the future and would like to ensure your assets and estate are passed down to your loved ones when you’re no longer here, we can help. Our skilled Wills solicitors in East Wittering can help you to organise your affairs both for the immediate future and for after you pass away.

Drafting your Will can be a daunting task but we will do all that we can to make it as simple and straightforward as possible.

Probate & estate administration

The loss of a loved one is an emotional time to go through. The last thing you want is additional stress from dealing with their affairs. We believe this process should be kept simple and straightforward, with as few issues as possible.

Our estate administration and probate solicitors in East Wittering can help you to navigate the difficult task of administering an estate. Our residential property team can also work with you to organise the sale of a property when the time is right.

Trusts

Trusts can allow you to make your estate more tax-efficient by protecting key assets from Inheritance Tax. They can also be used to provide ongoing support for your children or other vulnerable dependants.

Our trust lawyers in East Wittering are experts in helping clients to choose the right kind of trust for their goals. We can set up a trust for you, as well as provide support for trustees and trust beneficiaries on a one-off or ongoing basis.

Inheritance Tax planning

Inheritance Tax is something that should be carefully planned for in advance. This helps to ensure that your beneficiaries will receive the maximum possible inheritance when the time comes.

Our Inheritance Tax planning solicitors in East Wittering can advise on the best use of nil-rate bands, as well as tax-efficient vehicles such as trusts. You can therefore maximise the value of your estate that is passed on.

Powers of Attorney

Creating a Power of Attorney is of vital importance, particularly if you are concerned that you might lose mental capacity in the future.

Our Power of Attorney solicitors in East Wittering can offer legal advice and support when it comes to selecting and certifying your Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA).

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about the process behind creating a Power of Attorney or acting as an Attorney.

Court of Protection

Losing the ability to make decisions about finances, property, health, and wellbeing is an incredibly difficult and sensitive issue. If someone loses the capacity to manage their affairs and does not have a Power of Attorney in place, a loved one will usually need to apply to the Court of Protection so they can make decisions for the vulnerable person.

Our Court of Protection solicitors in East Wittering can assist with applying to become a Court of Protection deputy or making one-off applications, e.g. to sell a property. We also advise deputies on their role and can support people who are concerned about the conduct of a Court of Protection deputy.
