About Skidby
Skidby is the windmill village just south of Cottingham — a compact rural community gathered around Skidby Mill, the last working windmill in East Yorkshire, with farmland running up to the Wolds edge. Housing is a mix of farm properties, detached family homes and the retirement bungalows that ring the village core, and many residents have lived here for the better part of a lifetime.
Legal matters typical in Skidby
Skidby matters tend to divide two ways: farming families who need Agricultural Property Relief and succession planning handled properly so the land passes intact, and retired households whose main concern is protecting the bungalow from being consumed by care fees. We advise honestly on both — including where care-fee planning genuinely works and where the deprivation-of-assets rules make it counterproductive.

A Lasting Power of Attorney lets the people you trust act for you if you can't — through illness, injury, or age. Without one, your family has to apply to the Court of Protection. With one, they can act in days.

Fixed-fee trusts
A Trust can protect family assets from care fees, reduce inheritance tax, and provide for a vulnerable family member. The right Trust depends on your situation — we explain plainly which structure fits and which doesn't.
