Estate planning in Sandwich and Sandwich Bay.

Sandwich is one of the original Cinque Ports and still wears its medieval street plan, town walls and Tudor houses. The Quay sits along the River Stour, the historic core around Strand Street and Market Street is conservation-area protected, and the town is small enough that a walk across it takes a few minutes. Sandwich Bay, on the coast a couple of miles east, is one of the country's most established golf addresses, with Royal St George's and Princes set into the dunes and an estate of mostly mid-twentieth century homes between them.

Our Sandwich clients tend to fall into two groups. First, retired couples and families settled in the town and surrounding villages, often with property that has been in the family for decades and estate questions that span Will writing, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Inheritance Tax planning at the higher end of the threshold. Second, owners of Sandwich Bay properties used as primary, secondary or holiday homes, with assets in more than one jurisdiction and the kind of estate that benefits from careful drafting.

Sara has worked with Sandwich clients for many years and Aylesham is the nearest village of any size, with the office a six-mile drive across the marshes. The professional network across Sandwich, Deal and Walmer is established and friendly; we work alongside local accountants, financial advisers and solicitors on a regular basis.
