what our clients say

My dealings with the probate solicitor, Lucy Head, was both professional, efficient but also friendly. We were kept informed throughout on progress and all communication was always clear and easy to understand. Our experience with Buss Murton made a difficult time easier.

what our clients say

From our initial approach to the final signing of documents, we found all members of staff that dealt with us to be friendly, efficient and able to answer our many questions. We were made aware of options that we were previously unaware of and feel that all the advice given was done so with our best interests considered.

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.
