Probate, Wills & Trusts

Our firm has one of the largest probate and trust departments in Devon and Cornwall and manage from their Barnstaple base a large number of client estates and trusts. Specialist lawyers advise on estate administration, intestacy, probate and will disputes, Wills, Powers of Attorney, financial management and investment, the formation of charities, nursing home assessments and fee financing, the valuation of assets and the general management of client affairs later in life.

The department is highly regarded in its field and has recently become the founder member in Devon of the Law Society backed Certainty.co.uk National Wills Database.

Certainty is an electronic Will search and Will registration facility. Changing circumstances, moving to another area, or simply the passage of time can sometimes make it difficult to identify an individual’s last Will and its location. The register records that we are holding your Will at our office, but no-one at the Register sees the Will and we keep it safely for you. We can offer you this inexpensive service when you make your Will.
