Why GLCS

Serving Reigate and the Surrounding Area

Reigate sits in the heart of the Surrey Hills commuter belt, and the town has long attracted families and professionals who have built successful careers and accumulated meaningful estates. For these clients, getting the legal paperwork right is not a formality but a genuine priority. A well-drafted Will ensures that assets pass to the right people in the right proportions, and a Lasting Power of Attorney provides security if health or capacity changes in later life.

We regularly advise clients who have lived in Reigate for decades and are thinking seriously about estate planning for the first time. It is common for people to delay making a Will or setting up powers of attorney simply because the process feels daunting. Our role is to make it straightforward. We ask the right questions, explain the options clearly, and produce legally sound documents that genuinely reflect your wishes.

When someone passes away, the probate process can feel overwhelming, particularly when combined with grief. We guide Reigate executors and family members through every step, from assessing the estate and completing the HMRC inheritance tax forms to applying for the Grant of Probate and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Probate matters for clients in this area are typically handled through the Brighton District Probate Registry, and we manage all correspondence and submissions on your behalf.

For property disputes or contentious matters arising from an estate, proceedings may be heard at Guildford County Court, which serves much of Surrey. We will advise you clearly if any contentious element arises during the administration process and help you understand your options.

Clients in Reigate also frequently ask us about Lasting Powers of Attorney. There are two types: one covering property and financial affairs, and one covering health and welfare decisions. Both are registered with the Office of the Public Guardian and come into effect only when needed, giving you control while protecting you if circumstances change. We handle the full registration process, which currently takes around 20 weeks from submission to the OPG, and we keep you updated throughout.

We are proud to be CLC-regulated, which means our professional standards are independently overseen and our clients have access to the CLC's complaints process if anything falls short of expectations. We also offer fixed fees, agreed in writing before any work begins, so you will never face an unexpected invoice. For Reigate residents who value clarity and professionalism, this approach makes a meaningful difference.

Whether you are approaching retirement, dealing with a bereavement, or simply putting your affairs in order, we are here to help. Call us on 01293 804 665 or use our online questionnaire to begin.
