What does Wills, Trust and Estate law involve in the UK?

  • Estate planning: Structuring your will and trust arrangements to protect assets, minimise tax liabilities, and ensure your wishes are honoured.
  • Will writing and contesting a will: Drafting legally sound wills that clearly express your final wishes and provide for your beneficiaries.
  • Probate and contentious probate: Managing the administration of an estate after death, including the resolution of disputes if a will is contested.
  • Power of attorney: Establishing both general and lasting powers of attorney to safeguard decision-making in the event of incapacity.
  • Trust administration: Overseeing the management and distribution of assets held in trust, and resolving trust disputes through litigation if necessary.
  • Estate litigation and disputes: Handling conflicts among beneficiaries or between executors and family members regarding the estate’s distribution.
  • Court of Protection and guardianship: Addressing matters involving the welfare of individuals who lack capacity, including guardianship appointments and related disputes.

How can a solicitor help with Wills, Trust and Estate matters, and what does it cost?

A specialist solicitor in this field can:

  • Provide tailored estate planning advice: Helping you choose the best strategies for drafting your will, setting up trusts, and organising powers of attorney to meet your personal and financial objectives.
  • Draft and review legal documents: Ensuring your will, trust deeds, and power of attorney documents comply with legal standards and clearly reflect your wishes.
  • Manage probate and estate administration: Guiding executors through the probate process and resolving any disputes that may arise during estate administration.
  • Represent you in litigation: If conflicts occur—such as contesting a will, trust disputes, or estate litigation—a solicitor can represent your interests in negotiations and court proceedings.
  • Assist with Court of Protection and guardianship matters: Advising on and handling cases where decision-making for those lacking capacity is at issue.

Costs vary based on the complexity of your case, the type of documents required, and whether disputes need to be resolved in court. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, while many firms also offer fixed-fee packages for routine tasks such as will writing or setting up basic trusts. An initial consultation—often free or offered at a reduced rate—will help clarify your needs, provide an estimate of fees, and determine the best approach for safeguarding your estate.
