We offer a professional and friendly Will writing service in Stockport
Many people believe that when they die, their estate will automatically go to their immediate family, but this is not always true and without a Will, the law decides who inherits. It is only by having a proper Will that you can ensure that you protect your assets for your loved ones. Here at Fielding Triggs our small professional team of Will and Estate Planners, based near Stockport and Macclesfield, can guide you through the process.
We can write a Will most suitable to your family circumstances, whatever they are. Our bespoke service will be tailored to your individual needs and can cover all issues as they become evident. We are always happy to visit you at home or any other convenient place for a face-to-face meeting, so we can make the process as simple and straightforward as possible. We provide a personalised service and will always take time to discuss your wishes and needs as an individual.

Inheritance tax planning in Stockport
Inheritance tax is a tax that is payable on the death of an individual at a rate of 40 per cent of the value of their Estate. There are a number of potential exemptions and reliefs that can reduce the amount of tax available.
We can also assist with other services including estate planning and administration and appointing a Power of Attorney. This is a legal document which grants a power to someone else to act for you and to sign documents legally on your behalf. This can be a powerful tool, but you should always seek legal advice before appointing someone. Read our blog about: What happens if you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for someone with Dementia?
We can help you with the following:
- To ensure your children are looked after
- Ensure all assets are dealt with according to your wishes
- Inheritance tax is minimised
- Any funeral wishes are noted accurately
- Set up Trusts for family members
- Nominate Executors
- Will storage
- Appointing a Power of Attorney
- Estate planning
We offer a range of planning services, including:

If you live in Stockport and want to securely store your Will
Once you have taken the sensible step to make a Will, it is important that you make sure it is stored safely and can be found easily and without delay by your executor when it is needed. There is no legal requirement for it to be stored in a particular place, but we recommend that your Will is stored properly because if it is found damaged at home, through floods or fire as examples, this can lead to problems and delays at a time which will be difficult for your family.
We store clients’ Wills at UK Will Safe, so your Will can be issued to your executor promptly and they will know where it is. We can advise you about any aspect of Will storage and its importance when we meet you.

Update or Review your Will in Stockport, Cheshire
A Will prepared many years ago may be valid but if a significant amount of time has passed, it is likely that you will have had a number of life changes. We mainly only think about updating our Will when we inherit money or fall out with a close beneficiary but there are many other good reasons to update your Will, including on marriage or entering a civil partnership, separation or divorce from a partner, changing legislation or if a named executor or beneficiary has died. We will share our expertise with you to make sure that your Will reflects your wishes.
Our Will and Estate Planning Experts can assist with all types of Wills, including:
Simple Will: This is suitable for any individual, even if they are married, divorced or in a relationship, to instruct how they want their assets to be distributed when they die.
Mirror Will: This type of Will is created for someone who is married, in a civil partnership or co-habiting, who wants their Will to be drawn up similarly to their partner, so the Wills ‘mirror’ each other. This protects the other person in the event of their death and also protects any children and can be a more cost-effective choice.
Joint Will: A Joint Will is a type of Will that is jointly executed by two or more people, usually a husband and wife or civil partners. The law treats a Joint Will as two or more separate Wills.
Trust Will: This type of Will is used to offer increased protection for your family in various situations. For example, where an individual has a partner but also children from a previous relationship. They may wish to be specific about what their partner and children inherit and when.
They may wish to protect their estate from care fees or to look after the interests of a disabled or vulnerable person once they have passed away.
A Trust is a legal arrangement which makes someone responsible for an individual’s assets to benefit another person.
