SUPPORTING FAMILIES ACROSS CREWE & NEARBY AREAS
Crewe’s position in South Cheshire means many residents have close connections with neighbouring towns and villages.
You may live in Crewe but have relatives in Nantwich, own property around Sandbach, work elsewhere in Cheshire or have children who have moved away for university or employment.
Your estate planning should take these wider family and property connections into account where necessary. If beneficiaries, property or other assets are spread across different locations, we’ll help you understand the considerations that may apply.

Crewe Wills & Estate Planning FAQs
DO I NEED A SOLICITOR BASED IN CREWE TO MAKE MY WILL?
No. Your solicitor does not have to be physically located in Crewe for your will to be valid.
However, working with a legal team familiar with supporting people in Crewe and the wider Cheshire area can make it easier to discuss your property, family and financial circumstances.
Liberay Legal supports Crewe residents through telephone and online appointments.
I OWN A HOME IN CREWE, SHOULD I MAKE A WILL?
If you own property, making a will is an important part of planning what should happen to your estate.
Whether your home is in Wistaston, Weston, Leighton or another part of Crewe, your property may form a substantial part of your estate. A professionally prepared will allows you to set out who you want to benefit from your estate.
COULD INHERITANCE TAX AFFECT CREWE FAMILIES?
It can, depending on the value and circumstances of your estate.
Your home, savings, investments and other assets can all be relevant. If you have accumulated substantial property or inherited significant assets, it may be sensible to consider how inheritance tax could affect your estate.
HOW LONG DOES PROBATE TAKE IN CREWE?
There is no single timescale for every estate.
Straightforward estates may be completed relatively quickly, while matters involving property sales, inheritance tax, business interests, disputes or assets in different locations can take considerably longer.
The circumstances of the individual estate will determine the work involved.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY PROPERTY IF I DIE WITHOUT A WILL IN CREWE?
If you die without a valid will, the Rules of Intestacy determine who can inherit your estate.
These rules may not reflect your personal wishes, particularly if you have an unmarried partner, children from a previous relationship, stepchildren or other family circumstances that don’t fit a straightforward family structure.
CAN I ARRANGE A LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY WITHOUT VISITING YOUR OFFICE?
Yes. We can help Crewe residents prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney through telephone and online appointments.
We’ll explain the available options and guide you through the process of putting the appropriate arrangements in place.
