Services Provided by Howell Jones and Co

Making a Will or provision for your family is no longer the preserve of the rich. With rising property prices, increasing numbers of people are now being caught out by inheritance tax laws.

Many of us rule out making a Will because we do not believe we have anything significant to leave our loved ones but often when you take into consideration the value of property and life insurance the sums involved can be significant and attract the interest of the Inland Revenue.

While it is entirely natural for people to avoid wanting to make a Will, it is essential that we get our affairs in order to ensure that our assets are passed on to those we most love and care about and to minimise any additional stress at an already painful and distressing time for them.

And making a Will doesn't have to be costly or take up a lot of time. A Will can be drawn up for as little as £100 and it will provide you and your family with real peace of mind. After an initial consultation to find out more about your particular circumstances, our practitioners will be able to offer you advice on what type of document you need and how best to minimise your exposure to inheritance tax.

Our solicitors are members of the Law Society Probate Section and the Society of Trust and Estates Practitioners (STEP).

We offer a caring, sympathetic and efficient service that can include home and hospital visits, if required.
