Preston, near Hedon

Safe Harbour Legal covers Hedon with wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney and trusts. Hedon is the historic market town just east of Hull. Clients here include Hull commuters, established locals and small-business owners. Hedon has a medieval market charter, sits at the gateway to Holderness and is an easy run into Hull. The community it draws benefits from proper estate planning rather than an off-the-shelf will. Home visits across Hedon cost nothing extra.

  1. Wills in Hedon

    Hedon wills often have a small business in them as well as the house. Whether that business is sold, split or handed to one child is the decision a template leaves out. It is the one the family has to live with.

    Mirror wills for a couple £550 + VAT. A will with a trust in it £650 + VAT, or £950 + VAT for a couple.

    from£350+ VATfor standard will, one person
  2. Lasting powers of attorney in Hedon

    Hedon has a commuter belt and a good many small businesses running from it. A property and financial affairs power is what keeps a business trading if its owner is suddenly unable to make decisions, rather than leaving staff and suppliers waiting.

    Both for one person £800 + VAT. Both for each of a couple £1,400 + VAT. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each document, paid at cost on top.

  3. Probate in Hedon

    A Hedon estate often crosses the inheritance tax threshold once the house, the pension and a share of a business are added together. Where a business is involved, whether it keeps trading through the administration is a decision for the first week rather than the last.

    Aaron obtains the grant and you do the rest. Full administration from £3,000 + VAT. The court’s £526 application fee is paid at cost on top.

    from£950+ VATfor grant only probate
  4. Trust and estate planning in Hedon

    A Hedon trust is often built round a small business. Where the business supports a family but only one of the children works in it, a trust can separate the income from the ownership without forcing a sale.

    Each piece of work is priced on its own. Planning alongside a will is £450 + VAT or £750 + VAT. A lifetime trust is £1,500 + VAT.

    from£450+ VATfor declaration of trust
