    Complex Wills covers high‑value estates, intricate trust structures and tax planning within a valid will, often involving complementary lifetime gifts, nil‑rate band planning and cross‑border considerations. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews sophisticated wills, prepares and registers testamentary trusts, advises on inheritance tax, and coordinates executorship and probate to protect the intended distribution of an estate. They liaise with executors, navigate disputes over validity or interpretation, and manage fiduciary duties across complex beneficiaries and assets.

    “I used Paul to draft my Will which was relatively complex because I wished it to create, if necessary, a vulnerable person trust for my wife who is in 24 hour nursing care and unable to look after herself. I then wished the residual estate to be divided between family and other personal beneficiaries and charitable bequests. Paul took great care to understand my wishes and then to explain the draft Will and associated Letter of Wishes. All done speedily and sympathetically. ”

My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!”
