Contact us today

If you are looking for experienced Wills and Probate Solicitors in Manchester, our team provides clear, professional guidance at every stage. Whether you are preparing a Will, administering the estate of a loved one or putting a Power of Attorney in place, we offer practical advice delivered with sensitivity and care.

Planning for the future or dealing with a bereavement can feel overwhelming. There are important legal and financial responsibilities to consider, often at a time when emotions are already high. Our role is to make the process straightforward and manageable, ensuring your wishes are protected and your responsibilities are handled properly and efficiently.

Making a Will

Making a Will ensures that your money, property and possessions are distributed according to your wishes. Without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed under strict legal rules, which may not reflect your intentions or provide adequately for those you care about.

Our Wills Solicitors in Manchester can help you:

  • Appoint executors to administer your estate
  • Nominate trusted individuals to deal with your assets
  • Make specific gifts of money or personal belongings
  • Distribute your estate to chosen beneficiaries
  • Exclude individuals where appropriate
  • Set up trusts to protect assets or support vulnerable beneficiaries
  • Appoint guardians for your children
  • Express wishes regarding funeral arrangements

We will take the time to understand your personal and financial circumstances before preparing a Will tailored to your needs. We can also advise on inheritance tax planning and ways to structure your estate efficiently.

A Will should be reviewed whenever there is a significant change in your life, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child or the acquisition of property. Keeping your Will up to date provides certainty and peace of mind for you and your family.

Probate and Estate Administration

If you are responsible for dealing with the estate of someone who has passed away, you may need to apply for a Grant of Probate before assets can be collected, transferred or distributed. The process can be complex, particularly where there are multiple assets, business interests or family disagreements.

Our Probate Solicitors in Manchester guide executors and family members through every stage of estate administration, including:

  • Applying for a Grant of Probate
  • Identifying and valuing assets
  • Paying debts and liabilities
  • Distributing the estate to beneficiaries

We provide clear advice on your legal duties and ensure that the estate is administered correctly and in accordance with the law.

Powers of Attorney

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint trusted individuals to manage your affairs if you lose mental capacity in the future. Without one, your family may face delay, uncertainty and additional cost in obtaining authority to act on your behalf.

There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney:

  • Property and Financial Affairs
  • Health and Welfare

We will explain the differences clearly and help you decide what arrangements best suit your circumstances.
