Planning for the future isn’t always easy to think about — but putting the right plans in place can make a huge difference for the people you care about.
At Greenough Legal Services, we’re a family-run estate planning practice based in Didcot. For over 35 years, we’ve supported individuals and families across Oxfordshire with clear, practical advice on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate, and Inheritance Tax planning.
We believe estate planning should feel straightforward, not overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to explain everything in plain English, whether we meet you at our office, in your home, or online.
Making a Will – Simple, Clear, Personal
A professionally written Will gives you control. It ensures your money, property, and personal belongings go to the people you choose.
Without a Will, your estate is distributed under strict legal rules — and that may not reflect your wishes.
Our Will writing service in Didcot and across Oxfordshire helps you:
- Protect your family
- Appoint guardians for children
- Choose trusted executors
- Reduce potential inheritance tax
- Avoid unnecessary complications
Every family is different. Whether your situation is straightforward or more complex, we guide you through the process calmly and clearly.
You can also learn more about what happens without a Will on our Rules of Intestacy page.
Lasting Power of Attorney – Planning for Life’s Unexpected Moments
Many people assume their spouse or children can automatically step in if something happens to them. In reality, that’s not always the case.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose who can make decisions for you if you’re ever unable to do so yourself.
We help clients across Didcot and Oxfordshire set up:
- Property and Financial Affairs LPAs
- Health and Welfare LPAs
Having an LPA in place gives you reassurance. It means your finances, healthcare, and important decisions remain in trusted hands.
It’s not just something for later life — illness or accidents can happen at any time. Planning ahead avoids stress and legal complications for your loved ones.
Probate Support When You Need It Most
Losing someone close to you is never easy. Dealing with legal paperwork at the same time can feel overwhelming.
We provide compassionate probate support throughout Didcot and Oxfordshire, helping families manage:
- Grant of Probate applications
- Letters of Administration
- Estate administration
- Inheritance Tax matters
- Distribution of assets
Some families simply need guidance with the paperwork. Others prefer us to handle the full process. We’ll work in the way that feels right for you.
Inheritance Tax Planning – Protecting More for Your Family
With property prices rising in Oxfordshire, more families are facing Inheritance Tax than ever before.
Careful planning can make a significant difference. We’ll look at your estate as a whole and explain practical ways to reduce potential tax liability — while keeping everything fully compliant.
Our approach is always sensible, clear, and tailored to your circumstances.
