West Sussex
Chichester is the cathedral city and county town of West Sussex, a place of great historical depth and considerable natural beauty, surrounded by the South Downs National Park to the north and Chichester Harbour to the south. It is home to a prosperous, professional community and attracts retirees who value culture, landscape, and the gentler pace of life the city offers. GLCS Probate Services advises Chichester clients on wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney from our Gatwick office.

Chichester and the surrounding villages of Bosham, Fishbourne, Selsey, and the Manhood Peninsula form a distinctive part of West Sussex with a character shaped by its Roman heritage, its sailing community on the harbour, and its position between the Downs and the sea. The city draws established professionals and retirees who value discretion, quality, and personal service in all their dealings, and that is precisely what we provide.
We draft Wills for Chichester clients that reflect their individual circumstances in full. Many clients here have significant property assets, whether in the city itself, in the harbour villages, or elsewhere, and these need careful treatment in the Will to avoid unnecessary inheritance tax or complications for executors. We advise on all relevant planning measures, including the residential nil rate band, and we produce a Will that is both legally precise and clearly expressed.
Probate for Chichester estates is handled through the Brighton Justice Centre and the Brighton District Probate Registry. We manage the complete administration process on behalf of executors, from the initial estate valuation and HMRC submissions through to gathering in assets and making final distributions to beneficiaries. We keep executors informed throughout what can sometimes be a lengthy process, and we always aim to conclude administration as promptly as circumstances allow.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are particularly valued by Chichester clients who want to plan thoughtfully for the future. We advise on both the property and financial affairs LPA and the health and welfare LPA, prepare all documentation, and handle registration with the Office of the Public Guardian. We would encourage any client considering an LPA to act sooner rather than later given current registration timelines of around 20 weeks.
