A Lasting Power of Attorney enables you to nominate people to do this should the need arise, including managing your bank accounts, arranging for the payment of household bills and other expenses, and even proceeding with the sale of your property. This preceded the Lasting Power of Attorney. Should you already have an Enduring Power of Attorney, we can advise you on what you need to do to continue to use the document.

Conveyancing is the transfer of legal title of property from one person to another, including the management of anything that affects or limits the title of the property such as mortgages, leases, or restrictions. It occurs in three stages: before contract, before completion and after completion, and is there to ensure that the seller is the owner, has the right to sell the property, and there is no factor which would impede a mortgage or re-sale.

The Firm was founded in Aylesbury around 1899 by Edward Wilkins. The office was originally a branch of an established High Wycombe firm, but very soon became an independent practice. At the time the town of Aylesbury was growing rapidly, and Wilkins expanded to meet the local legal needs.

read moreWhilst no one likes to think about death, if you die without making a Will, there are legal rules that determine who will receive your property, money and personal possessions. You may not wish these people to benefit; indeed you may have close friends or charities that you are connected with to whom you would like to bequeath gifts, but who would not benefit if you died without making provision for them in a Will. As Solicitors specialising in Wills and Probate, our dedicated team can help you to prepare a Will that takes account of your own individual circumstances and appoint Executors and Trustees to administer your estate and ensure that your wishes are fulfilled after your death.

Often their affairs may not be in particularly good order or they may be complicated for a number of reasons. We can help you with the administrative burden at this difficult time. If you feel you live too far away to come into the office, please note that in some circumstances we can arrange home visits by one of our solicitors in Princess Risborough and High Wycombe.
