Wills, Trusts and Probate
If you do not have a will or you do not keep it up to date, countless problems can arise for those you leave behind. Your assets may be eroded through tax or your heirs may not actually receive what you wish to pass onto them.
Proper planning in your lifetime can help you resolve the difficulties of how to pass on the family home/business and other assets, whilst preserving your family's wealth.

The Legal 500 in 2011 says:
"IBB (Iliffes Booth Bennett)’s pre-eminent private client department is highly regarded in the South East for its Court of Protection work. The team is led by Jacqueline Almond, who ‘exceeds all expectations’ and ‘goes out of her way to assist clients’."
Chambers in 2011 says:
"This Chesham firm advises on a range of private client matters, including complex probates, will drafting, and tax, trust and financial planning. The firm has a particularly good name in Court of Protection proceedings, and gets referrals from local authorities and law firms lacking that capability."
