Wills, probate, tax and trusts

Ensure your legacy lives on

People often believe that they don’t need to make a will because their money and other assets will automatically pass to a spouse, partner or their next of kin. However, this isn’t always the case. In fact, if you haven’t got a will in place, it’s the law and not you who determines who inherits your estate with a result you might not expect or intend.

If you do make a will but it isn’t properly organised, and you haven’t taken advantage of proper tax planning (including inheritance tax planning and the use of trusts), you could end up paying a large amount in tax that would otherwise go to your family and other beneficiaries. The Flint Bishop service is delivered by a team of specialists widely recognised as leaders in their field, so you can enjoy the peace of mind you deserve, whilst ensuring a legacy is left behind for your family. Our services also extend to the administration of estates, which without the back-up of legal knowledge can be time consuming and often very confusing. Our personal service ensures that this process is handled professionally and efficiently, and is provided at a significantly lower cost than the equivalent services offered by banks and other similar institutions.
