Will writing and estate planning in London

Inherita helps London families and business owners with will writing, estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, trusts and inheritance-tax considerations. Telephone and video consultations make it possible to start without travelling to our Loughton office. We help identify the documents and decisions relevant to your own circumstances.

Property, international connections and people who depend on you

London estate planning can involve a main home, investment property, pensions and business assets held in different ways. Start with ownership and beneficiary information rather than assuming all assets pass under a will. A coordinated review can identify issues that one document alone would miss.

If you or your beneficiaries have assets or connections outside England and Wales, say so at the outset. Overseas property, residence and existing foreign wills can require specialist advice in more than one jurisdiction. Do not assume an English will or LPA is automatically effective everywhere.

Trust discussions should begin with a specific objective: supporting someone vulnerable, managing an inheritance for younger beneficiaries or balancing family needs. Trustees take on real responsibilities, and trusts can create tax and reporting obligations. Compare the options and costs before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Can I arrange an estate-planning consultation in London remotely?

Yes. Inherita offers telephone and video consultations for London clients. Our published local office is in Loughton, Essex; we do not list a branch in every London borough.

Does making a will remove inheritance tax on a London property?

No. Inheritance tax depends on the estate, available allowances, beneficiaries and other circumstances. A will records your wishes and may form part of planning, but does not itself make the estate tax-free.

Can one will cover property in more than one country?

Sometimes, but cross-border estates need careful advice. Different countries may have different succession, tax and document requirements. Explain overseas assets and any existing foreign wills before changing your plan.
