Signum's service register — every fixed fee, published.

Wills

Trust will — single

A will containing a discretionary or life-interest trust, drafted from your instructions and solicitor-reviewed.

Trust wills — mirror

The same, as a matching pair for a couple — each a complete will.

LPAs & advance decisions

Single lasting power of attorney

One LPA — property & affairs or health & welfare — drafted from your instructions, checked, and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian.

Both LPAs, one person

Both documents for one person, prepared together so the appointments and instructions agree.

Couple bundle — four LPAs

All four documents for a couple, prepared and cross-checked as a set.

Advance decision (living will)

An advance decision to refuse treatment, drafted to sit correctly alongside a health & welfare LPA.

Attorney operation pack

For a newly acting attorney: bank and provider registrations mapped, a decision log, and an expenses ledger — set up properly from day one.

Trusts

Lifetime trust deed

A discretionary, life-interest or disabled person's trust, prepared and settled by the qualified professional whose authorisation covers it, with HMRC trust registration included.

Declaration of trust

Records who owns what share of a property — fixed or floating — before it ever needs to be argued. The deed itself is prepared and settled by the qualified professional whose authorisation covers it, inside the same engagement.

Trust registration (TRS)

Your trust registered with HMRC's Trust Registration Service, correctly and on time.

Trust tax return (SA900)

The trust's self-assessment return, prepared and filed.

Ten-year and exit charges

The ten-year anniversary or exit calculation done properly, and the IHT100 form filed with HMRC.

Deed of variation

Redirects an inheritance within two years of a death. The inheritance-tax and capital-gains elections are included as standard, and the deed is prepared and settled by the qualified professional whose authorisation covers it.

Inheritance-tax planning

Gifting programme

A lifetime gifting plan with the seven-year clock mapped — and the gift ledger your executor will one day be asked for.

Charitable giving & the 36% reduced rate

The calculation that qualifies your estate for the lower 36% inheritance-tax rate once a tenth of it goes to charity — worked out, and drafted to claim it.

Pensions & later life

Pension death-benefit claim administration

The forms chased, the evidence gathered, and the scheme's own options set out factually — administrative support only. Which option to take is never a decision we make for you.

Deputyship & Court of Protection

Court-authorised gifting for someone who's lost capacity

Getting the Court of Protection's permission to make gifts on behalf of someone who can no longer decide for themselves. The application is prepared and conducted by the qualified professional whose authorisation covers it; the clinical assessment and the court fee are inside the quoted fee, not extra.

Estate administration add-ons

Statutory creditor notices

Section 27 notices placed in The Gazette and the local paper, protecting the executor from unknown claims.

Formal estate accounts

Estate accounts prepared for the beneficiaries' approval — the document that closes an administration cleanly.

Estate tax returns in administration

The estate's income-tax and capital-gains position during administration, prepared and filed.

Property (title & tenancy)

Deceased joint proprietor (DJP) title update

Updating the Land Registry title after a joint owner dies — including the second-trustee appointment a restricted title sometimes requires, which a bare filing would miss.

Property assent (AS1)

Transferring the deceased's property into a beneficiary's name once grant is issued — checked against the mortgage, insurance and title traps that catch DIY attempts, and executed by the qualified professional whose authorisation covers the instrument.

Digital estate

Crypto & digital-asset estate structuring (pre-death)

A worksheet recording where your crypto is and how an executor would reach it — solicitor-reviewed, never holding your seed phrase or keys ourselves, location and route only.
