Wills, Trusts (UK & International) & Probate

Wealth succession planning and administration

Formalising the way in which your wealth will be passed on and ensuring that this is done as effectively as possible, is vital if your wishes are to be honoured.

There are many ways you can achieve this through wills, Trusts and effective wealth succession planning.

If you die without leaving a will, your estate may not necessarily pass on in accordance with your wishes, particularly where there are complicated family circumstances. If you have no relatives, then your estate will pass to the Crown.

Jurit has a team of experienced private client lawyers who can support you in achieving your aims through the preparation of wills and creation of trusts (UK & International), as well as helping with estate planning from inheritance tax and succession planning to powers of attorney.

Our people, your team

With over 15 private client lawyers and paralegals, we can support you in the preparation of wills and trusts (UK & International), as well as helping with probate matters and estate administration.

We can also draw upon the expertise of the wider Jurit team to provide specialist tax advice and support with Court of Protection matters relating to mental capacity issues and Court of Protection deputy-ship.

How we help

At Jurit, we take time to listen, to understand what you want to achieve and why, in order to put in place the necessary mechanisms to deliver on this, when the time comes.

Wills 

Our will writing experts will work with you to ensure that your estate can be bequeathed in line with your wishes.

We will consider the issues which will have a direct bearing on how your will should be drawn up, drawing on the expertise of our lawyers in relation to the laws of succession, tax, trusts, pensions, estates and property.

A tailor-made will prepared by a professional such as a specialist solicitor will provide the reassurance and peace of mind you and your family deserves.

Trusts 

As part of our service, we can create and manage trusts, which can be a useful inheritance tax planning tool, and will advise on the right trusts to meet your individual and family needs. We also produce trust accounts and provide support with the completion of tax returns.

Probate 

High net worth individuals place their trust in Jurit to provide a considerate and respectful service in relation to probate matters and estate administration, at what is a time of emotional anguish.

We administer estates ranging in size and complexity, which may be made up of both assets in the UK and abroad.

We offer three levels of probate service to those administering a deceased person’s estate:

  • Full Estate administration
  • Standard service
  • Advisory Service

Depending on which parts of the probate process you require assistance with, we can ‘mix and match’ our services to give you the support you need.

Pricing Guidelines 

Our fees are based solely on time spent – we will never charge a percentage of the estate in question.

We will aim to agree a fixed fee with you in advance. If that is not possible, we will agree a fee estimate and will let you know if we think we are going to go over that estimate.

Invoices are not raised until we have received the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration).
