Wills and Probate Solicitors in Manchester
Experienced Legal Support in Didsbury and South Manchester
A trusted and personal approach.
Planning for the future — or dealing with the loss of a loved one — can be overwhelming. At Didsbury Family Law, we offer calm, professional guidance to help you understand your options and make informed decisions. Whether you’re writing a Will, administering an estate, or setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney, we’re here to provide support that is both clear and reassuring.
Our private client solicitor, Sara Chanan, brings over 25 years of experience to every case. She works closely with individuals and families across Didsbury, South Manchester, and surrounding areas, offering a trusted and personal approach.
Wills and Estate Planning
Making a Will is one of the most important things you can do for your family. We’ll help you ensure that your wishes are clearly recorded and that your assets pass to the people who matter to you.
We offer a fixed-fee service for straightforward Wills, including Single Wills and Mirror Wills for couples. Sara will explain the implications of your choices, help you name executors and guardians, and advise on matters such as inheritance, gifts, and protecting your estate for future generations.
All documents can be securely stored by us at no extra cost — and if needed, we can arrange a home visit to make things easier.
Probate and Estate Administration
If you’ve recently lost a loved one, we understand how difficult it can be to handle legal and financial matters during a time of grief. We offer professional, sensitive help with the entire probate process — from identifying and valuing the estate, to applying for a grant of probate, and finally distributing the assets.
We tailor our support to the complexity of the estate, with a transparent pricing structure and clear timescales. Whether the estate includes a single bank account or multiple properties and shareholdings, you’ll receive the same calm and expert service.
Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets you appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity or become unwell. Many people choose to prepare an LPA well in advance — not just in later life — as a practical way to plan ahead and protect themselves and their family.
We offer fixed-fee advice and registration support for both types of LPA: Property & Financial Affairs, and Health & Welfare. You can appoint one or more attorneys, and we’ll guide you through the choices with clarity and care. Home visits are available where needed.
