Leatherhead is surrounded by some of Surrey's most picturesque countryside, including the slopes of the North Downs and the Mole Valley itself. Many residents have lived in the area for decades, and some of the homes here have passed through multiple generations of the same family. When it comes to estate planning and administration for properties of this kind, having a solicitor who takes time to understand the full picture is essential.
Our Will writing service begins with a conversation about your circumstances and what you want to achieve. We consider who should benefit from your estate, what specific gifts you wish to make, whether there are any vulnerable beneficiaries or complex family dynamics to address, and whether the standard provisions are adequate or whether something more tailored would serve you better. We then draft a Will that is clear, legally correct, and signed off with proper formalities.
For probate matters arising in Leatherhead, we handle all aspects of estate administration from valuing assets to distributing to beneficiaries. Probate applications are processed through the Brighton District Probate Registry, and any inheritance tax is calculated and paid to HMRC as part of the process. We manage all of this on behalf of the executor and keep them updated at each stage.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are particularly valuable for Leatherhead residents who own property jointly or who have elderly parents in need of support. We advise on both types of LPA and register them with the Office of the Public Guardian. The registration process currently takes around 20 weeks, which reinforces why acting in advance of any health concerns is so important.
