Whether you are writing a will for the first time or reviewing an existing one, we will ensure that your will accurately reflects yours and your loved ones’ requirements for the future.
We appreciate that not everyone’s circumstances are straightforward. Second and subsequent marriages are becoming more and more common and we understand the need for sensitivity in such situations, whilst still providing professional advice.
Where young children are involved, we will assist you in appointing guardians to take on parental responsibility should you no longer be able to.
Through effective planning, we maximise your inheritance tax allowances. We also protect assets against future events such as long-term care or re-marriage, as well as protecting assets for young and vulnerable beneficiaries.

Testimonial
“This is a very professional company. Came to use them for my mother’s will on her passing and had the pleasure of Amelia Gale dealing with everything. She made the experience a lot less stressful and was always there to help on any issues. In fact so impressed, they have done our wills and powers of attorney and again fully explained everything. Well worth paying that bit extra for a quality service.”
Mr. Clennell
“I have used Flint Bishop’s services on several occasions for various issues. My contact there, Shirley Illston, over the last 24 years has helped me in difficult times, when I needed good legal advice quickly. I would recommend their services for any legal assistance you require without hesitation.”
