Our private client solicitors can help you with every aspect of your own personal legal affairs. Whether it’s drafting a will for the first time, or changing an existing will, preparing powers of attorney for you, assisting you with tax advice, administering an estate after someone has died, or helping you change your name, we can provide you with the advice and support you need.
