East Sussex
Hove has long maintained its own distinct identity alongside its neighbour Brighton, with elegant avenues of Regency and Victorian architecture, a large and settled professional population, and a significant community of retirees who have chosen the seafront for its quality of life. GLCS Probate Services serves Hove residents with expert wills, probate and LPA advice from our Gatwick office, with phone and video appointments available throughout the week.

Hove is part of the Brighton and Hove unitary authority but retains a character quite distinct from its neighbour. The broad residential avenues running from the seafront through Hove Park and Portslade are home to many long-established families with substantial property assets, and the seafront itself is increasingly a location for affluent retirees drawn by the climate and the cosmopolitan city culture nearby.
Our Will writing service for Hove clients takes full account of the client's specific circumstances. We advise on the most appropriate structure for each situation, from straightforward mirror Wills for couples to more complex provisions involving property trusts, inheritance tax planning, and gifts to charitable causes. Many of our Hove clients own significant property that needs careful treatment in the Will to avoid unnecessary tax or delays in administration.
Probate for Hove estates is handled through the Brighton District Probate Registry and the Brighton Justice Centre. We manage the full administration process on behalf of executors, handling all HMRC submissions, liasing with financial institutions, and overseeing distributions to beneficiaries once the Grant of Probate has been issued.
We also help Hove clients set up Lasting Powers of Attorney for both property and financial affairs and for health and welfare decisions. We explain both documents clearly, handle all registration paperwork, and submit to the Office of the Public Guardian. Hove's ageing population means LPAs are in particularly high demand, and we encourage clients to act early to avoid the delays and expense of Court of Protection applications later.
