We understand the importance of securing the future for you and those who are close to you. Our team provides a comprehensive suite of wills and legal services, helping you to plan ahead, protect your legacy and prepare for every eventuality.
Whether you’re looking for specialist will services, structuring for the next generation through wills and estate planning, or safeguarding your decisions via a Lasting Power of Attorney, we’re here to help.
Choose Duncan & Toplis as your trusted legal services partner.
Our legal team has the experience and expert knowledge to deliver high-quality will services. We help you either renew or draft your Will from scratch, working with affluent individuals, business owners and farmers who turn to us for reliable advice.
When it comes to wills and estate planning, there are many scenarios to consider. We’ll talk you through those possibilities and help you build a Will that covers various contingencies, helping to minimise complications for family, business associates and beneficiaries down the line, and ensuring any available tax mitigation is addressed.
Retaining family wealth and passing on assets to the next generation is a key component of wills and estate planning. It involves more than simply naming beneficiaries; it’s about structuring your affairs in a way that reflects your wishes and aligns with your values, while navigating legal and tax implications.
Our specialists draw on broad experience across the wider Duncan & Toplis Group, presenting you with personalised advice and tailored solutions that help ensure your legacy is delivered as intended.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is just as important as a Will. If you’re unable to manage your affairs, financially or personally, an LPA ensures someone you trust can act on your behalf.
Whether you’re an individual or a business owner, the right LPA framework is essential for peace of mind. Our team works with you to put in place the correct structure and document to support your personal circumstances and objectives.
Should circumstances change and you need to cancel an existing LPA, our team is ready. We can prepare everything needed to formally revoke powers in a clear and legally sound manner, maintaining your control and safeguarding your arrangements.
When buying property with someone else, or when financial arrangements demand clarity, a Declaration of Trust has an important role. Without one, legal assumptions may not reflect your intentions.
Our lawyers help you structure ownership arrangements, whether joint tenants or tenants in common, with full clarity and in concert with your wider planning.
We also assist with the design, oversight and termination of trusts, offering support where specialist advice is required. From the initial setup to ongoing administration, our team has you covered as part of your overall wills and estate planning strategy.
