Cripps Harries Hall

If you make a Will you choose how your estate is divided, how your family is provided for, and who looks after any dependent children. You can also choose your own executors and trustees. If you do not make a Will the State will make all these decisions for you.

What we do

We get to know you and your personal circumstances so we can advise what type of Will is most suitable for you.

Getting the formalities right is essential, or there will be major problems later on. We also check that you have missed nothing out and that your Will covers the future if things do not turn out quite as you expect. 

There may be ways of saving tax and preserving your wealth for future generations. These often make use of trusts, and need a thorough knowledge of tax.
