Will Writing & Estate Planning in York

York is one of Yorkshire's most desirable places to live, and with that come some of the region's higher property values, which makes careful estate planning especially worthwhile. If your home has grown significantly in value, your estate may face an inheritance tax bill that a bit of planning could reduce or remove altogether. From the city centre to Acomb, Haxby, Clifton, Fulford and the surrounding villages, we help York families protect what they've built.

Protecting a higher-value estate

With property values across York often well above the national average, more estates fall within reach of inheritance tax, charged at 40% above your available allowances. Sensible, legitimate planning can make a real difference:

  • a properly structured will (from £195) to use your allowances efficiently;
  • trusts (from £795) to protect your home and control how your estate passes on;
  • inheritance tax planning to reduce what your estate pays;
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney (from £195) to protect you in later life.
  • Probate support, when the time comes, we can introduce you to a trusted, regulated probate specialist.

Where any solution needs regulated financial advice, we'll refer you to a trusted, authorised adviser.

In person or online

We visit you at home across York and its villages, or meet online by Google Meet or Zoom, with fixed fees agreed before any work begins.
