Setting up and managing trusts to protect assets, provide for family members, and plan how your estate passes to the next generation.

Advice for those challenging a will, defending an estate, or in disagreement over how an estate is being administered.
Deeds of Variation
Changing how an estate is shared after someone has died, where the beneficiaries agree to redirect their entitlement.
The Probate Process — Step by Step
Dealing with an estate follows a familiar set of stages. Here is what to expect when we act for you.
Initial Meeting
We meet with you, review the will if there is one, and explain what needs to happen and in what order.
Valuing the Estate
We identify and value the assets and liabilities — property, bank accounts, investments, and any debts.
Grant of Probate
We prepare and submit the application to the Probate Registry and deal with any inheritance tax reporting.
Collecting & Settling
Once the grant is issued, we collect in the assets, settle any outstanding liabilities, and close accounts.
Distributing the Estate
We distribute the estate to the beneficiaries and provide full estate accounts showing how everything was dealt with.

We Handle All Wills & Probate Matters
From a straightforward will to a complex estate with property and business interests, our experience covers the full range of private client work.
First Wills
For those making a will for the first time — often after buying a home, marrying, or having children. We explain each decision clearly.
Married Couples
Mirror wills for couples who want matching arrangements, with advice on how assets pass between spouses and on to children.
Blended Families
Second marriages, stepchildren, and children from previous relationships require careful planning. We help balance everyone's interests.
Business Owners
Where an estate includes a business or shareholding, additional planning is needed to make sure it passes smoothly.
Estates With Property
Where the estate includes a home or other property, we manage the sale or transfer alongside the rest of the administration.
No Will Left
Where someone has died without a will, we advise on who is entitled to deal with the estate and how it is shared out.
Vulnerable Beneficiaries
Where a beneficiary is a child or needs additional support, a trust within the will can protect their interests over time.
Overseas Assets
Estates with property or accounts abroad involve extra steps. We advise on how these are dealt with alongside UK assets.
Why Having a Will Matters
Without a will, you have no say in who inherits your estate, who looks after your children, or who deals with your affairs. Instead, a fixed set of rules decides — and the outcome is often not what the family would have wanted.
A will prepared by a solicitor gives you control, reduces the chance of disagreements later, and makes the process considerably simpler for the people you leave behind.
Talk to Us About Your WillChoosing Your Executors
Your executors are the people who deal with your estate. We advise on who to appoint, how many, and what the role involves in practice.
Guardians for Children
If you have children under 18, your will is where you name who should look after them. Without this, the decision may not rest with your family.
Keeping It Up to Date
Marriage, divorce, new children, and moving home can all affect a will. We recommend reviewing it whenever your circumstances change.
Safe Storage
A will only works if it can be found. We store your original will securely and provide you with a copy for your own records.
Wills & Probate Solicitors Who Know Harrow Families
We have been advising families across Harrow on wills, probate, and estate planning for over two decades. Many of our clients came to us years ago for a will and have since returned for probate, powers of attorney, or to help the next generation put their own affairs in order.
Being local matters with this kind of work. You can come into the office, sit down with your solicitor, and talk things through properly — and we can visit at home or in hospital where attending our office is not practical.
We advise clients across Harrow and the surrounding areas of north-west London.
