We support families in Macclesfield and across East Cheshire with probate and estate administration, helping you understand your responsibilities and deal with the legal process as efficiently and clearly as possible.
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets someone you trust make important financial, property, health or welfare decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to. We’ll explain the different types and help you put the right arrangements in place for the future.
SUPPORTING HOMEOWNERS
For many Macclesfield residents, property represents a significant part of their overall wealth.
You might own a family home that has been in your family for many years, a recently purchased property, a buy-to-let investment or inherited land or property in Cheshire.
These circumstances can create different estate planning considerations. Joint ownership, beneficiaries, inheritance tax and family arrangements may all need to be considered when preparing your will.
We’ll help you understand how your property and other assets fit into your wider estate plan and what arrangements may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Macclesfield Wills & Estate Planning FAQs
DO I NEED A SOLICITOR IN MACCLESFIELD TO MAKE MY WILL?

However, working with a legal team familiar with Macclesfield and the wider Cheshire area can make it easier to discuss local property, family and financial circumstances.
Liberay Legal supports Macclesfield residents through flexible telephone and online appointments.
I OWN A PROPERTY IN MACCLESFIELD, SHOULD I MAKE A WILL?
Yes. If you own a property, making a will is an important part of deciding what should happen to your estate.
Whether you own a family home in Tytherington, a property in Bollington, a rural home near Prestbury or an investment property elsewhere in Cheshire, a professionally prepared will can help ensure your assets pass to the people you choose.
WHEN SHOULD I UPDATE MY WILL?
You should consider reviewing your will after major life events such as buying a property, getting married, separating or divorcing, having children, receiving an inheritance or starting a business.
It’s also sensible to review your arrangements periodically to make sure they still reflect your wishes.
CAN INHERITANCE TAX AFFECT FAMILIES IN MACCLESFIELD?
It can, depending on the value and circumstances of your estate.
