Background

Wills, Trusts & Probate

70th Anniversary

The only certainty in life is its unpredictability, we can help you plan for an uncertain future. We have wide-ranging expertise across all Wills and trusts and general private client matters, including:

  • How to make a Will;
  • Will writing
  • Powers of Attorney;
  • Probate and estate administration;
  • The benefits of trusts and how to set them up; and
  • Living Wills / Advance Decisions.

We also provide comprehensive advice on care fees and every member of our team is specifically trained to offer dementia-friendly advice to people affected by the disease.

Members of our team are members of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), an organisation of legal professionals who specialise in providing advice to older and vulnerable people and their families and carers with compassion and professionalism.

Wills

Making a Will is the most important thing you can do to ensure your loved ones are protected and provided for after you die. Our specialist will, trust, and probate lawyers can provide an expert will making service to help you set out your wishes clearly and precisely in a legally binding document.

We can advise you on:

  • Leaving money and property to provide for your family’s future;
  • Appointing Executors;
  • Appointing guardians for your children;
  • How to mitigate your tax liabilities;
  • Leaving money to charity;
  • Trusts; and
  • Testamentary Capacity (the mental capacity to make a Will).

Getting married revokes all previous Wills and moving in together may mean that you want to make a Will to leave your estate to your partner who wouldn’t otherwise inherit.

As well as Will drafting, we can help you regularly review your Will to ensure it is still valid and that it reflects your life circumstances.

Advice on Care Fees

Many of us these days are faced with the prospect of paying for care fees towards the end of our lives. We can help you plan for this eventuality by considering all the options and protecting your assets against nursing home fees. We can also help to claim assistance from the NHS if you need nursing care.

Henry Anstey discussing advice on care fees on Huntingdon Community Radio:

Trusts

You can use trusts to preserve your wealth and control how it is passed on to your loved ones.

Having children is a huge responsibility and you will benefit from the peace of mind that comes from having made a Will (which can include trusts) to ensure that they are cared for in the event of anything happening to you. We can advise you how to plan for the effects of capital taxes and protect your children or other vulnerable beneficiaries in the event of your death.

Our trust solicitors can help you set up trusts in the following areas :

  • Provide for children under 18 during your lifetime or after you die;
  • Provide for loved ones who lack mental capacity;
  • Set conditions to your beneficiaries’ inheritance;
  • Reduce the value of your estate to minimise Inheritance Tax (trusts have their own tax implications so it is important to obtain financial advice);
  • Set aside money for your future long-term care; and
  • Ringfence assets, for example, to preserve some of the family home if it needs to be sold to pay for care.

We can also provide detailed advice on the duties of trustees and beneficiaries’ entitlements under trusts.

Probate

The death of a loved one is never easy. So, when they have entrusted you to obtain probate and administer their estate for them, it is understandable that you may feel overwhelmed.

Our probate solicitors can help reduce the burden on you by handling the entire estate administration process on your behalf and relieving you of the need for endless form filling and helping you to make any changes necessary to mitigate your tax liabilities.

Our probate expertise includes:

  • Applying for the grant of representation (grant of probate where the deceased left a valid Will or letters of administration where there is no valid Will);
  • Obtaining a valuation of the estate;
  • Collecting financial information;
  • Paying off debts and handling expenses such as funeral costs;
  • Calculating and paying tax, including Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Inheritance Tax;
  • Distributing inheritance amongst the beneficiaries; and
  • Addressing inheritance and Will disputes.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

At some point in our lives, any of us can be temporarily or permanently unable to manage our finances or care. Drawing up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can make sure that your wishes are carried out whatever happens to you. Taking advice on preparing an LPA can help to protect your property for your family.

Our expertise includes:

  • Property and Financial Affairs Powers of Attorney; and
  • Health and Welfare Powers of Attorney.

Enduring Powers of Attorney

We can provide advice to people appointed as Attorneys under Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPAs). Only EPAs made before 1 October 2007 can be used so we will provide advice about the document’s validity as well as:

  • Registering the EPA once the Donor has lost their mental capacity;
  • Advising on the scope of the EPA;
  • Advising on fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of an Attorney; and
  • Addressing any disputes about the validity or registration of the EPA.

Advance Decisions / Living Wills

A Living Will is not a Will at all. It is a signed and witnessed statement of your wishes concerning medical treatment if your condition prevents you from being able to communicate with doctors.

If you lose your mental capacity in the future and cannot refuse medical treatment, your Living Will clearly sets out your wishes (including any wish to refuse lifesaving treatment) saving your loved ones from having to make distressing decisions on your behalf.

Another name for a Living Will is an ‘Advanced Directive’ or ‘Advance Decision’.

Dementia Friendly

All our Wills, Trusts & Probate lawyers have attended and completed Dementia Friendly training. During the training they learnt more about people living with dementia, helping them to understand and provide a dementia friendly environment when visiting Hunt & Coombs Solicitors.

Thank you, to both you and the staff for your kind and understanding manner, which I experienced. Also your prompt and professional care.


In our estimation you are doing a great job, keep it up.


I have seen Mrs Newell on two occasions at my request, probate and renewal of my Will. The service has been excellent and willingness to visit me in my home very much appreciated, avoiding for me to make a long car drive at my advanced age. I have every confidence in consulting her in the future if reasons arise.


Very satisfied with all help and advice given.


Excellent service and I will use the firm again.


Very good service. Came home and explained all in detail. Very happy with service.


My first impression was at reception which I found to be very professional and very friendly. I believe this gives a window to the company.


Your professional advice and assistance in this matter is very much appreciated especially the home visits.


Good service and I would like to thank all for the valuable help given to us. Thanks once more.


We were recommended to Mr Henry Anstey and were not disappointed. Listening to what we thought we needed, Henry gave us other options and after he explained so eloquently we realised another path was far better suited for us. Thank you Mr Henry Anstey.


I want to take this opportunity to thank Henry Anstey for his compassion, kindness and understanding. Henry's help has been invaluable to me these last few months and for that I shall be eternally grateful. The whole process was made a lot easier so for that once again, thank you Henry.


A very quick and efficient service and the lady who came to see us was very helpful and explained matters very clearly.


Service is fantastic, no issues and I would highly recommend the firm.


As always it is a sheer pleasure to deal with Henry. He always is clear in expressing himself and explaining matters totally unknown to me in an easy to understand way. Reception response is cheerful and efficient.


Excellent and professional service.


My lawyer Jenny Newell was so helpful, I really appreciated everything she did for me and I am grateful she was on hand to help me in this difficult time. I would like to keep her as my lawyer and if I have any queries I will be assured she is on hand to help me.


Jenny Newell was very helpful and professional as always and made the whole situation of sorting out my late fathers affairs that much easier. Thank you to Jenny and all at Hunt & Coombs.


Henry gave us excellent advice that will benefit us and our children.


Very professional, friendly, Paddy took the time to explain legal issues in a clear and comprehensive way.


I was very happy with the work that Jenny Newell has done for me and my son. Overall we were satisfied with the service by Hunt & Coombs, thanks.


The service received was friendly, very professional and carried out in a speedy manner. Various complex issues were explained in clear and simple terms.


I am very happy with all of Jenny Newell's excellent help, etc and would happily recommend Hunt & Coombs to anyone.


Professional friendly service!


Truly blissful in all aspects.


It was very sad circumstances that I had to see Henry but throughout every meeting he was compassionate and very understanding making details etc. a lot easier for me to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hunt & Coombs but especially Henry Anstey.


I felt I was listened to and not hurried. Everything was clearly explained and I knew I could contact Jenny about any queries.


The service Jenny gave was fantastic. We were informed all the way. During consultation she addressed every concern, worry and made it very clear on how the process would work. When you have 2 elderly members of the family all your situations change. Jenny put our minds at rest 100%. Thank you.


Outstanding service, thank you.


Excellent customer service and professional support provided. Many thanks.


We appreciated the lawyer visiting us in our home as my husband has to rely on his wheelchair and tail lift taxis.


In the course of the two visits paid to the offices of Hunt & Coombs, I found the Solicitor courteous and helpful, if I had a point of law which I may not have understood it was explained in a very professional way.


We would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for your help and guidance in preparing our new Wills. It was a very positive, (and dare we say funny) experience. Our best regards.


The service was cordial and well explained.


Henry gave us thorough and comprehensive advice in all areas that needed to be considered when drawing up our Wills. We received excellent advice and we were happy with the service he and his team provided.


I have used Hunt & Coombs service since 1973 and have never had any issues with them. I will continue to use them.


We found the staff at both offices to be very professional and pleasant and are pleased we chose Hunt & Coombs for our purposes.


Fabulous service, everything was explained to us very clearly. Would not hesitate to recommend Jenny Newell to anyone. Thank you Jenny for all your help and support.


Paddy is a great listener, he understands what we need very quickly and gives us first class advice dealing swiftly with any action required. We are confident our affairs are in order as a result. Thank you.


This process has been made simple and easy, the communication was fantastic, friendly and welcoming. Fantastic, thank you Jenny.


Jenny assisted us with great respect and dignity at a very difficult time for us as a family.


Excellent Service.


I am very happy with all aspects of the service that I received.


We have used Hunt & Coombs since 1963 and have always had excellent service. We would not use any other Solicitors.


The service I received from Jenny Newell were more than satisfactory, we were very happy with the way she explained everything in layman terms and make us feel secure and at ease with the outcome of these.


A trouble free experience following difficult and sad circumstances.


Jenny Newell was very warm and friendly but thoroughly professional too. She helped make a rather difficult procedure, (considering the issue of a Will) much easier. Clear help and advice. I would thoroughly recommend her.


My memory goes back to the day that I missed my appointment and the lovely way they accepted my apologies and gave me an appointment the next day. The receptionist, past pupil of my late husband was always professional, gracious and very helpful as was Jenny Newell.


The matter was dealt with professionally, efficiently and with courtesy. Thank you.


Extremely happy with all my dealings with your company. Thank you.


Paddy explained everything with ease and it was an easy process.


First Class!


Excellent service and at a very trying time. Professional, sound and personal service and help. Thank you so much.


I have always been given plenty of time, support when I needed it most, clear advice when needed, knowledge that I could contact you when I needed help. I'm really satisfied and comfortable with the help and service you have given me. Again Thanks.


Generally, delighted with your professionalism, wish I had used your firm during my divorce, you seem more "human" and more understanding.


I have known and worked with this company for many years. I have found in this time your company to be very fair in prices you charge, your friendliness and finally helpfulness.


I would use Jenny any time. Very easy to talk to and helped me over a sad time. Thank you.


A very professional service. Thanks Henry.


Usually when you make contact about a legal matter the whole process is long and drawn out. However, Henry Anstey covered all the necessary information and paperwork in a very efficient and timely manner.


The service provided was proactive and collaborative which meant the matter was dealt with smoothly and efficiently.


Very satisfied throughout the process.


Very professional and fantastic service. I will be using the service of Hunt & Coombs again and I will recommend them to friends.


Fiona Prince dealt with our request to create our Wills at speed in a professional, yet very pleasant manner. We would recommend her services and her attention to detail to others.


Very prompt in dealing with this. Thank you very much.


I would like to thank Jenny Newell for her excellent customer care and advice.


Jenny Newell put me at ease and made the LPA and Will process easy and clear to understand.


Henry Anstey is at the top of his game with Wills and Trusts. Given that my affairs concern existing trusts and new family members, the advice given was intuitive, concise and expertly arranged. My thanks to him and the Hunt & Coombs team!


We have used Hunt & Coombs for our legal needs for about 20 years and have always been very satisfied with the service we have received. This is certainly the case with Henry Anstey who again had helped us with our Wills.


I have used Hunt & Coombs in the past for various matters and have always had good service.


I've used H&C for years and always found them so professional and friendly.


The service received from Henry was excellent, in as much as every aspect was explained at the level we needed to fully understand. As well as giving professional and friendly service, all of the necessary work was completed on a very tight time schedule, to meet the requirements of our upcoming travel plans. Good job by all involved at H&C.


We have been very satisfied with the work which Henry has done for us and also with other staff members we have met during our meetings.


My wife and I cannot imagine that anyone would be able to give us better advice and support than Henry Anstey and his team.


We have used H&C for various probate and conveyancing transactions over the past twenty years and have always been very satisfied.


I'll be back!


Advice taken onboard, and our stress levels lowered through sensible advice. Many thanks.


The service received from Henry was excellent. All aspects explained about the options open to us, so we could make the correct informed decisions.


Fiona Prince gave us both the initial feeling that she was highly competent at her role and we thus had full confidence in the advice she gave us.


Henry Anstey was very trustworthy. Everything Henry did for me was just what I wanted for my Will and LPA.


Henry was interested in our circumstances and tailored our revised Wills to cover all anticipated eventualities. A very good service.


Felt very at ease with our solicitor, made everything stress free. Thank you.


I have used them in the past many times and always thought very highly of the company. I have no need to go anywhere else, keep it up.


Our family have dealt with Jenny Newell for a number of years and we know we will get excellent and trusted service.


Knowing they have been in Oundle over 40 years helped as it was a very difficult time for me which they all helped, they were very caring and understanding and explained clearly everything.


I have used the services of Jenny Newell a number of times now and she is always approachable, professional and very helpful. Jenny keeps you up to date on all matters and is very prompt responding to any queries.


I previously used this firm and found them to be friendly but also knowledgeable on the subject matter.


We have been with Hunt & Coombs for the last 25 years and found them friendly & helpful.


I called two different companies and Hunt & Coombs were available to do what I needed; without delay.


They have been informative and helpful.


Always been satisfied with the company, thank you.


When we were buying the house you were very helpful and always there for us.


From the onset I found all the staff very helpful and informative - nothing was too much trouble.


Henry Anstey is regarded by us, and many others, as being a highly trust-worthy and discreet specialist in Wills and probate. We would recommend him to anyone seeking advice in this field.


I have been very appreciative of how quickly Fiona Prince has dealt with drawing up my Will. All communication was extremely professional and considerate.


I had passed your office on many occasions and was impressed with the building and the ease of parking.


Local and highly recommended to us by friends.


Very clear and professional legal advice.


Offices in Huntingdon & Peterborough, local expertise.


Previous good service involving property purchase and arranging 'Powers of Attorney'.


I was impressed by the services given especially because of the difficulties experienced at the time. Despite this, everything was dealt with smoothly and without any problems.


We have used the services of Hunt & Coombs for many years. So it was natural to choose them again as we have always found them to be efficient and professional.


We just cannot thank you enough, everyone was very friendly but Emily was not only very friendly but extremely fast and efficient in dealing with everything related to our new wills. Thank you so much.


We have used Hunt & Coombs for our legal services since arriving in Peterborough in 1982 and have always found them to give sound and friendly advice.


David Read deserves a special mention as he was particularly clear and straight forward. Highly knowledgeable and very amicable. He is a great credit to Hunt & Coombs. Very diligent and human! Very rare these days!


I liked the impression of the company I got from my initial phone call. Helpful, honest & professional.


We have every confidence in Henry Anstey's expertise and we enjoy meeting with him.


All staff have been extremely helpful throughout the process of compiling Wills and LPA's during what has been very difficult times.


I am new to this area. I was looking for a solicitor in central Peterborough. Hunt & Coombs whose name was selected from an internet search, fitted the bill. I will use this company when I next need any legal work carried out.


Sally made what seemed to me a complex process very simple. She explained professionally how I could use various mechanisms to achieve what I needed. Over the years I have had contact with many lawyers and Sally is one the best I have met. Thank you.


We wanted to go to a local company and went on Facebook and asked for recommendations. Hunt & Coombs came up and this why we chose them. Due to Covid 19 and lockdown our initial meeting was from home via link, even that was excellent service, felt like we were listened to and Sally Power understood our requirements. We cannot improve anything. Very happy.


Very happy with the all-round service we received and the legal advice and recommendations we were given. They made a fairly complicated system that much more logical and understandable to all family members concerned. Cannot think of any ways of improvement.


I have had the pleasure of the services of Hunt & Coombs on a variety of issues - Wills, EPAs, property dealings, and estate management - since 2005. It is a shame that your questionnaire overleaf does not include a box 'Summa cam laude', which I could tick!!


Sarah went above and beyond for us, amending the draft until I was happy. She completed everything so quickly so our re-mortgage and transfer of title could also be sped up. We cannot recommend or thank Sarah enough!


Simply carry on in the friendly, informative and convincing manner shown to us.


The local office, friendly and approachable staff make it easy and accessible for us. We very much like and trust Paddy Appleton and James Steward who have both been very helpful in the past.


I have used Hunt & Coombs in the past and they have always provided excellent service.


Due to circumstances outside of our control the house purchase fell through, however because of the brilliant service we received throughout we have again instructed Hunt & Coombs to act on our behalf.


Excellent service all round. Explained exactly what was going on throughout the process, and answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend to others for any legal requirements. Our full trust is with this company.


Emily was excellent. Clear, concise and thorough.


I have already recommended Sally Power or anyone at Hunt & Coombs because I had such a good experience. The service was professional, I was kept updated and my Will went through really quickly. I am very impressed with the service I received.


I have used them before in the past and was extremely happy. I will always use Hunt & Coombs and will refer friends and family. I would 100% have Hunt & Coombs to help me out as all the workers there are so amazing, fast replying and very friendly.


I am very glad that I came to your service. Sally has dealt with me with kindness and courtesy, I can't thank her enough. I thank you all.


I was very impressed with the service I received. Sallyann was exceedingly competent, professional yet very approachable and friendly. I followed her advice and guidance to the letter and was very pleased with the results. I will not hesitate to contact her in the future. With grateful thanks.


As a family, including my late parents, we have always used Hunt & Coombs for any legal work. We would never go anywhere else.


I have used Hunt & Coombs for 20 years.


Such a pleasure to deal with Jenny Newell once again. It was nice to know she is still with Hunt & Coombs and as always was willing and able to assist, guide and advise us with necessary changes needed to our existing documentation. Thank you very much Jenny for all your help and support. It is very much appreciated by us both.


Sally Power has the ability to simplify complex legal issues whilst ensuring that actions taken in one sphere do not impact on those made elsewhere in sometimes complex interactions. I have complete faith in her support and advice, a refreshing change from my experience of the legal profession elsewhere.


In my opinion you cannot improve your service. I have always been treated very professionally whenever I have consulted you i.e. Wills, probate and dealing with my late husband's affairs. Thank you.


Fiona was very knowledgeable in her field of practice and provided me with confidence about the advice I received. Fiona took the time to explain things to me so I knew and understood what I was signing and agreeing to.


We trust Sallyann as our lawyer, she has always helped us by explaining everything so we can understand.


Emily was so helpful and explained everything so well so we could understand all we needed to.


We have been dealing with Emily Lowndes whom we have found to be extremely efficient, absolutely perfect, thank you.


Fiona was very professional and explained in great detail all the options available to me. She was very easy to speak to and prepared my Will quickly as requested. I was kept updated at all times. I would thoroughly recommend her.


The response to my enquiry email seemed the most personable of the emails I received.


Our grateful thanks to Henry Anstey for arranging to see us at our home on 3 occasions due to illness. He gave us a very understanding and caring service and it was very much appreciated.


I was very happy with the service and cannot see anything that needs improving, in my opinion.


Emily was professional and showed empathy to my situation.


I received excellent service. Thanks.


Sallyann provided outstanding service, responding quickly to all our questions and took time to explain it all as we went along the process.


We were really impressed by the speed and helpfulness of your service. The solicitor we were referred to, Sally Power, knew exactly what questions to ask to help us frame our Wills. We had an initial Zoom meeting with her, then (at our request) a follow-up meeting face-to-face which we found very helpful.


The service I received was informative and helped me feel both relaxed and confident. A warm welcome from all the legal team... Overall, this was a seamless and efficient process and I will recommend Hunt & Coombs to family and friends. Additional services were offered to aid my personal circumstances, again professional and apt.


Excellent, prompt, helpful and sensitive.


My late husband used your services several time over the years and I continue to do so. Professional service and clear, concise and factual throughout. Clear on cost, time frames, what is best suited for my individual needs and so thoroughly supportive throughout. Thank you Emily for all your assistance.


Myself and my son wanted a smaller solicitors. We tend to think that you get better service, you haven't disappointed us - we have received excellent service, and we would recommend Hunt & Coombs to all our family & friends.


Hunt & Coombs was a name I was familiar with, being local and long standing in Peterborough. On their website it states that they have special training on elderly clients.


We heard other clients speak highly of the service they had received.


Impeccable service, no complaints. Emily Lowndes is a great asset to the company. If in future we need your services, it would be our first port of call.


Family had already used the company and we were impressed with the level of service, particularly at a difficult time.


Doing my Will was something I had been procrastinating over as I thought it would be so upsetting. Emily Lowndes was reassuring and remarkable, instantly putting me at ease. Professional and friendly, very efficient, listening to all my needs and requirements legally and I felt confident that I was getting the best service and my only regret is why ever did I not sort it sooner. Thanks so much Emily.


"Thank you for the friendly and helpful service we received, it was a great weight off of our minds."


We have used your good services (based on a good reputation) since we moved to Oundle in 1979. We have been very satisfied with the service and assistance you have given.


We were very happy with the service given by Emily. From first contact, reception, and Emily. Friendly, helpful and efficient service. Would recommend your services.


I have been very satisfied with the services I have received. Thank you.


I found Sallyann very knowledgeable and felt happy about her dealing with my affairs in the fullness of time.


I called a few solicitor practices, but Hunt & Coombs got back to me straight away and I was able to come in that day.


Emily at Hunt & Coombs has given us an excellent service, all matters were dealt with very promptly and professionally. All my questions were answered in a timely manner - with great patience to explain any issues I was unclear about! Excellent communication throughout.


The clear communication of all my options was much appreciated!
