What does estate planning involve?

  • Will drafting: Creating a legally binding document that clearly states how your assets should be distributed.
  • Trust establishment: Setting up trusts to manage and protect assets, often for tax efficiency and to benefit specific beneficiaries.
  • Inheritance tax planning: Structuring your estate to minimise tax liabilities and ensure maximum benefit to your heirs.
  • Appointment of executors and trustees: Designating trusted individuals to administer your estate and manage any trusts you’ve established.
  • Powers of attorney: Appointing someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapable of doing so.
  • Succession planning: Ensuring a smooth transfer of business or family assets to the next generation.

How can a solicitor help with estate planning, and what does it cost?

A specialist in estate planning can:

  • Provide tailored advice: Assess your assets, family circumstances, and financial goals to develop a strategy that protects your legacy.
  • Draft and review documents: Prepare wills, trust deeds, and powers of attorney that meet current legal standards and reflect your wishes accurately.
  • Advise on tax efficiency: Recommend strategies to reduce inheritance tax liabilities and maximise the value of your estate for your beneficiaries.
  • Plan for contingencies: Outline arrangements for potential future changes, such as incapacity or shifts in family dynamics.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your estate and the range of documents required. Many solicitors charge hourly rates ranging from £150 to £400, while others offer fixed-fee packages for standard will drafting or basic estate planning services. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—can help you understand your options, obtain an estimate of expenses, and develop a tailored estate planning strategy.
