Surrey
Caterham sits on the eastern edge of Surrey, with the chalk downs rising behind the town and London just 20 miles to the north. The town has a mix of long-established family homes and newer developments, with a commuter population that values the combination of rural surroundings and fast access to the capital. GLCS Probate Services advises Caterham clients from our Gatwick base, with phone and video appointments making the process as convenient as possible.

Caterham on the Hill and Caterham Valley together form a community with strong local identity and a significant population of professional families who have chosen the area for its quality of life. Many residents here have accumulated considerable assets over the course of their working lives, and ensuring those assets are protected and distributed correctly is an important priority.
We draft Wills for Caterham clients that are precise and legally sound, covering all the key questions: who are your beneficiaries, who should act as your executor, what happens if a beneficiary pre-deceases you, and whether any trusts are needed to protect property or provide for vulnerable family members. We take instructions by phone and draft the document promptly, aiming to have most simple Wills completed within two weeks of the initial call.
When administering a Caterham estate, probate is handled through the Brighton District Probate Registry, with Guildford County Court as the relevant court for any contentious matters in this part of Surrey. We manage the complete process on behalf of executors, including all HMRC submissions, bank and investment notifications, and ultimately the distribution of the estate to beneficiaries.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are a vital safeguard for Caterham residents of all ages. We set up both the property and financial affairs LPA and the health and welfare LPA, register them with the Office of the Public Guardian, and keep you updated throughout the registration process. We strongly encourage clients to consider setting up their LPAs sooner rather than later, as they can only be created while you still have mental capacity.
