Kent
Swanley is a town in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, positioned just inside the M25 at the point where the motorway meets the A20 and A21 arterial routes. Its location gives it excellent access to London, Gatwick, and the wider Kent and Surrey commuter belt, making it an attractive base for working families. The town sits on the fringes of the North Downs and is surrounded by the orchards and villages of north-west Kent. GLCS Probate Services advises Swanley clients on wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney from our Gatwick base.

Swanley and the surrounding communities of Hextable, Crockenhill, and St Mary Cray form part of the Sevenoaks district, which in turn is one of the most prosperous and sought-after districts in Kent. The area straddles the boundary between outer London and rural Kent, and residents here often have a mix of suburban and rural assets, from family homes in the town to investments, businesses, or connections to the wider Kent landscape. We serve all of these clients with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Our Will writing service for Swanley clients takes full account of each individual's circumstances. We take instructions by telephone, discuss the client's assets and wishes thoroughly, and advise on the most effective way to structure the Will before we draft. We advise on inheritance tax and the measures available to reduce the tax burden on the estate, and we produce a document that is clearly expressed and legally precise. Where clients have children from different relationships or blended family structures, we take extra care to ensure the Will achieves exactly what they intend.
Probate for Swanley estates is handled through the Maidstone Combined Court Centre, which serves the Sevenoaks district. We also use the HMCTS online probate service for suitable applications. We manage the full administration process on behalf of executors, from initial estate valuations and HMRC filings through to collecting in assets and distributing the estate in accordance with the Will or the rules of intestacy where no Will exists.
Lasting Powers of Attorney are equally important for Swanley clients. We prepare both the property and financial affairs LPA and the health and welfare LPA, and we manage the registration process with the Office of the Public Guardian from start to finish. With the current registration timeline running to approximately 20 weeks, we encourage clients to make these arrangements well in advance of any anticipated need.
