Put the right plans in place for you and your family

It’s never too early to plan ahead but sadly, there can come a time when it’s too late. While it may not be the easiest thing to think about, putting your affairs in order is one of the most important steps you can take for yourself and your loved ones. Our private client solicitors are here to help you set out your wishes in a legally binding manner.

 

The team at Brockbanks Solicitors will ensure that you have a strategy in place for every eventuality, helping you make arrangements to provide for your family, protect your assets, and ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend. From lifetime gifting to shielding your estate from care fees, and drafting a Will that reflects your true intentions, we'll help you prepare for whatever life may bring.​

Easing the stress on you

If you've lost someone close to you, we appreciate the importance of managing their affairs with tact and empathy. Our private client lawyers offer a range of services for private individuals including Will writing, obtaining a grant of probate, administering an estate, and assisting in the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney, all managed sensitively and with consideration of all parties involved.

Always tailored solutions 

Legal solutions with you at the heart

Because people are unique, it is impossible to adopt a policy of ‘one size fits all’. We'll always meet our clients in person to discuss their personal requirements, and we would be happy to arrange an appointment for you at any of our 5 offices in Whitehaven, Carlisle, Cockermouth, Workington and Keswick, or in the comfort of your own home.
