Wills

Our highly regarded Wills, Trusts and Tax team has an enviable reputation and is highly ranked in the independent legal guide The Legal 500.

Head of department, Clive Pointon, is Chester’s only Court of Protection Panel Deputy whilst the remainder of the team are either involved with STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) or ACTAPS (Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Solicitors), both of which reflects the high quality and complex work that our Wills, Trusts and Tax Team undertakes for its clients.

The team specialises in protecting the assets and wealth of high net worth individuals through the creation and management of trusts, inheritance and capital gains tax planning and by the preparation of tax efficient wills.

You can access more information on Deputyships and Court of Protection Matters on our specialist page we have created on the subject by clicking here and a comprehensive breakdown on the process behind contesting a will or challenging an estate here.

We can provide specialist Wills and Trusts for disabled individuals and parents who have disabled children.
