Wills & Probate
Ensuring your affairs are in order is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones. At Prime Legal Solicitors, we provide expert guidance on wills, probate, and estate planning, helping you make informed decisions about your assets and future wishes.


Making a Will
A legally sound will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Our specialist solicitors will help you:
- Draft a personalised and enforceable will
- Protect your assets and minimise inheritance tax
- Provide for your family and dependents
- Appoint guardians for children and manage trusts
Losing a loved one is difficult, and handling their estate can be overwhelming. Our probate specialists will guide you through the legal process, including:
- Applying for Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
- Identifying and distributing assets
- Handling debts, taxes, and liabilities
- Resolving disputes between beneficiaries
A Lasting Power of Attorney allows a trusted person to manage your affairs if you lose mental capacity. Our team can help you set up an LPA to cover:
- Financial & Property Affairs – managing assets, bills, and finances
- Health & Welfare – making medical and care decisions on your behalf
Effective estate planning can minimise inheritance tax and ensure your loved ones receive the maximum benefit from your estate. We provide expert advice on:
- Setting up and managing trusts
- Tax-efficient estate planning strategies
- Gifting assets and financial protection
If a loved one loses mental capacity without an LPA, we can assist with Court of Protection applications, allowing you to act in their best interests. We also provide guidance on care home funding and financial planning for long-term care.
