Our private client lawyers in Kent and the South East recognise that it is crucial to provide legal advice for individuals in a clear and cost-effective manner and we work closely as a team to ensure you are assisted by the right lawyer for your particular circumstances.
We have experience in all areas of private client law and practice including Wills and probate, trusts, capital tax planning and later life planning.
Whether you are dealing with such things yourself, helping an elderly relative moving into care or looking at tax planning and asset preservation, we understand that it could be an extremely distressing and worrying time for you.
Here at Buss Murton, our private client lawyers are determined to help you through the process whilst trying to achieve as financially optimal an outcome as possible for you. Whilst these areas require a high level of technical knowledge, many also require a sensitive and pragmatic approach.
We believe it is essential to have a Will in order to control the destination, timing and access to your assets on death. Once we have discussed what your wishes and needs are, we can draft your Will in the most tax efficient manner.
Some deceased persons’ estates can be quite complicated to administer because there is no Will and there can be no obvious person who is entitled to the estate. In other cases, estates may have complex assets some of which may be not located in the UK. Some persons will have Wills where the provisions of the Will may be contested. Please see our later website page dealing with the issues of Wills and Probate and contesting a Will or defending against such a contest.
Our private client law services cover many areas. See our specific pages regarding capital taxes planning and trusts. Trusts can be used for a variety of reasons, not only for inheritance tax planning and capital gains tax planning reasons.
Please also see our subsequent page dealing with ‘planning for later life’, which includes Lasting Powers of Attorney, applications to the Court of Protection and acting as professional Deputies.
We believe in having close links with other experts such as financial advisers, accountants and bankers so that you can receive a comprehensive and integrated service.
