Why plan now
Without a plan, a third of your estate could vanish.
Most families dont realise how much can be lost to tax, care fees, or family disputes — until its too late. The good news: with the right structures in place, almost all of it is avoidable.
Inheritance Tax
40% above £325,000. Without planning, families routinely lose six-figure sums to a tax that’s largely avoidable with the right planning, gifts, and reliefs in place.
Care Home Fees
An average of £60,000 a year, paid out of your estate until little remains. The right ownership structures can protect your home for the people you love.
Family Disputes
Outdated wills, unclear wishes, or no will at all are the leading causes of probate disputes — and the bills can run to tens of thousands. Clarity now prevents conflict later.

A highly professional and friendly service was provided by this company. Sophia Peters in particular answered all questions promptly and sensitively. She resolved a complex situation with care and efficiency. Would highly recommend this company.
Clarke & Wright made writing my will surprisingly smooth and positive. Friendly and clear explanations, efficient process, and most importantly, peace of mind. Highly recommend!
I found the presentation really enjoyable and informative. Graham delivered a fun but professional presentation which explained lots of complicated issues in an easy to understand way. Thank you.
