We are proud to be recognised by the Law Society’s Family Mediation accreditation for our services in Southampton.

Wills and estate planning

We recognise the difficulty of considering what will happen after you pass away, but having a Will in place is important as life can be unexpected. Having a Will means you can establish your final wishes, from funeral arrangements to who benefits from your estate.

Our Wills and Lifetime Planning Solicitors will carefully guide you through the process, ensuring you are entirely aware and comfortable with the important decisions you are making whilst providing sensitive support.

Our team are accredited solicitors with The Association of Lifetime Lawyers, formerly known as  ‘Solicitors For the Elderly’, and several members of our team are members of Dementia Friends.

Our Southampton Probate Solicitors can provide the help and guidance you need, either by working alongside you throughout the process or managing the administration on your behalf. We can talk through the options and find the best route to suit your circumstances.

Disputed estates and claims

When someone dies, it isn’t uncommon for beneficiaries or disinherited individuals to dispute the estate, particularly where they believe they should have been left more or been a beneficiary to an estate.

Many of the Personal Injury team are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and the Law Society Injury Panel.

Debt recovery

It isn’t uncommon for a business to face problems with cash flow, but when it is caused by an individual or business not repaying their debts, it can have a detrimental effect on the whole business, from profitability to repaying debts the business owes, etc. The length of time it takes for debts to be repaid can potentially impact the survival of the business.  

Our team of debt recovery solicitors have over 35 years’ experience recovering debts. We will advise you in clear, plain English of the course of action available, walking you through each step of the process.
