Associate at Kitson Boyce LLP

Martin Roberts

Associate

Martin is an associate member of the firm in our Private Client team. He has over 30 years’ experience in the administration of estates, the creation and administration of Settlements, preparing and advising upon Wills, Powers of Attorney of all types, applications to the Court of Protection and lifetime tax planning. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives and a member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP). Martin has dealt with some very large estates over his years in legal practice, including high value estates with complex tax issues as well as those with multiple beneficiaries. He is, as are all the members of the Team, passionate about recognising and challenging cases of elder abuse which is sadly increasingly common and can creep into many aspects of our lives. If you need advice about estate planning, the administration of an estate or Trust, or issues with powers of attorney Martin will be able to help as he will probably have come across it before.

My Will

4

After making 2 Wills and finally getting the third correct and therefore spending a fair amount of money, I am now satisfied I've done what I needed to do.

I found Martin Roberts approachable and am now awaiting details of Power of Attorney and to see another member of Boyce Hatton regarding my property.

From 1st phone call to conclusion of final Will, found the firms representation:-

Courteous and extremely professional.

Offering advice when necessary but after discussion, finding necessary solutions to all of my requirements. Tony Boyce would be proud of the standard you have maintained.

Great service, value for money, direct contact with Fee Earner who was very knowledgeable and constantly updated. The firm was very friendly and all phone calls were quickly returned.

I have dealt with Boyce Hatton over many years, updating my Will, when buying/selling properties and have always found them most helpful and individual Partners/Associates most pleasant to deal with.
