Private work

Working closely with the property and matrimonial departments is the private client team. At 174 Law we look to build long-term relationships with our clients. Property dealings represent part of the long-term requirement. However it is important to many clients that steps are taken regarding property ownership with a view to limiting Inheritance Tax liability and also that on death there should be effective disposal of hard earned assets.

It is vital to regularly review Will provision. Only an up to date and valid Will can make a client’s wishes legally binding.

All private client work is covered, including in particular:

• Preparation of Wills
• Probate and the administration of Estates
• Inheritance Tax advice and planning
• Court of Protection work
• Enduring Powers of Attorney
