About Roos

What comes up in Roos.

Safe Harbour Legal covers Roos with wills, probate, LPAs and trusts for a close rural community. Roos is the small Holderness village between Hull and Withernsea. It sits in the heart of the South Holderness farming belt. Its estates are typical of that: agricultural land, holdings passed down the generations, family farms worked for decades. Home visits across Roos cost nothing extra.

  • Home visits across Roos, Tunstall and Burton Pidsea
  • Familiar with Holderness farming families and Agricultural Property Relief
  • Farm succession planning
  • On the B1242 between Withernsea and Hull

Written by Aaron Johnson, a solicitor in Bridlington, who comes out to Roos himself.

  1. Wills in Roos

    In Roos the farm is usually the whole estate. A will that treats it as one asset among several tends to force a sale, so the drafting starts with who is going to work the land.

    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 Roos

    An attorney with a registered power can keep a farm running; without one, the day-to-day of a working holding has nobody to sign for it.

    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 Roos

    In Roos the estate and the livelihood are usually the same thing, a farm in the South Holderness belt. It cannot stop while the paperwork runs. An administration here keeps the holding working while it is being valued.

    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.

  4. Trust and estate planning in Roos

    In Roos the trust question is nearly always succession on a working farm. Settling it while everyone can still talk about it is worth more than any structure chosen after the event.

    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.
