How can we help you today?
At Aspen Cooke, we are dedicated to providing high-quality legal services tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients. From will drafting to inheritance tax planning, we are here to guide you through every step of the process.
Wills, Probate & Estate Planning
Will drafting and estate planning
A well-crafted Will is the foundation of effective estate planning. We help you distribute your assets according to your wishes whilst considering tax implications and family dynamics. Our comprehensive approach includes reviewing existing arrangements, advising on tax-efficient structures, and ensuring your Will remains current as your circumstances evolve.
Trust services
Trusts offer powerful solutions for asset protection, tax planning, and providing for future generations. Whether establishing discretionary trusts, protective trusts, or more complex arrangements, we guide you through the process and ongoing administration, helping your estate avoid the delays and costs associated with probate.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Planning for potential incapacity is crucial for protecting both you and your loved ones. We help you establish Lasting Powers of Attorney for property and financial affairs, and health and welfare decisions, providing peace of mind that your interests will be protected should you become unable to make decisions yourself.
Probate and Estate Administration
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the burden of complex legal procedures. Our compassionate team guides executors and beneficiaries through every aspect of probate administration, from obtaining the Grant of Probate to distributing assets, ensuring the process is handled with sensitivity and efficiency.
Court of Protection applications
When someone lacks capacity to make important decisions, Court of Protection proceedings may be necessary. We provide expert guidance through deputyship applications and other Court of Protection matters, always prioritising the individual's best interests.
Our private client expertise encompasses the full spectrum of wealth preservation and succession planning. We work closely with individuals and families to create robust legal structures that protect assets, minimise tax liabilities, and ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
Family Law
Life's most personal challenges require sensitive, skilled legal support. Our family law services focus on achieving practical solutions whilst minimising emotional and financial disruption.
Divorce & Separation
We understand that relationship breakdown affects the whole family. Our approach prioritises the welfare of children, ensuring they maintain meaningful relationships with both parents wherever possible whilst securing their financial future. We work to resolve matters efficiently and constructively, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings when necessary.
Financial Settlements
Dividing matrimonial assets requires careful analysis and strategic thinking. We help secure fair financial arrangements, including property division, spousal maintenance, and pension sharing, always considering the long-term implications for all family members.
Children matters
Disputes about children require particular sensitivity and expertise. We help resolve issues relating to residence, contact arrangements, and specific issues affecting children's welfare, always keeping their best interests at the heart of every decision.
