Protecting Your Future With Tailored Legal Advice

Planning what happens to your estate can be a sensitive subject. Whether you are planning alone or as a couple, the Whitehead Monckton inheritance and succession planning services team is here to offer you the practical, pragmatic and empathetic advice you need to protect and share your wealth – now and for future generations.

Our experienced team of lawyers with expertise in estate and succession planning, inheritance tax planning and will-writing will guide you through the process of deciding how your wealth should be distributed during your lifetime and after you die, and give you the reassurance of knowing that everything is in place to protect you and your loved ones.

Protecting Those Closest to You

If you are concerned about loved ones who are, through age, illness or accident becoming less able to make their own decisions, (or are worried about how to manage if this happens to you), we can guide you through your options and give you peace of mind.

Relieving the Burden of Managing Estates

For families who have recently lost someone and need help to manage their estate – as an executor or trustee – our empathetic and supportive estate administration lawyers will provide as much expert support as you need to reduce the burden at this difficult time. If managing the estate is challenging, we can act as independent administrators.

Many of our Succession Planning Services team are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), offering specialist expertise.

Across Whitehead Monckton’s extensive, multidisciplinary legal team, we have expertise in commercial and residential property, corporate law and dispute resolution. So no matter how complex an estate, we can take the weight off your shoulders – whether you need to sell a property, deal with business matters, or resolve a dispute between executors, trustees or beneficiaries.

At Whitehead Monckton, we’ve been focussed on the future for generations. Many of today’s clients are the children, grand-children or even great-grandchildren of our original clients – families who have stayed with us for generations because they trust our expert advice and know that we care about them, their family and their future.
