About

APT LEGAL

I founded APT Legal in 2016 with the goal of providing affordable, reliable estate planning services to individuals and families across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

 

Since then, I have been fortunate enough to grow APT Legal into a trusted practice supporting clients throughout England and Wales. As demand for our services increased, I expanded the team to ensure we could continue delivering the high level of personal service that our clients deserve. We are also proud members of the Society of Will Writers.

 

At APT Legal, we specialise in Wills, Trusts, Probate, Inheritance Tax Planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection matters. My team and I are passionate about helping clients protect their loved ones, preserve their wealth and plan confidently for the future.

 

Although our office is based in Newark, we regularly meet clients in their own homes throughout the East Midlands and Peterborough, offering a flexible and convenient service tailored to individual needs.

What we offer

Make a Will to ensure that your wishes are followed to ensure that your Estate is not distributed under the strict intestate rules, to make sure the people you wish to receive your estate benefit. We can either meet you at your home or at our office at your convenience.

Make a Lasting Power of Attorney and you can appoint your chosen Attorney(s) to deal with your financial affairs and health decisions when you are unable to do so. To prevent your family having to apply for a Deputyship Order from the Court and cause unnecessary delays.

We can provide different levels of support that you need when dealing with the administration of an estate. Our different levels of service mean we can tailor our advice to your needs. A friendly and professional team to support you through the administration process.

Here is what people are saying about us...

Carrie has attended my Bank Manager team meetings and delivered superb presentations on Wills, Trusts and POA. Her presentation style is engaging and interactive and I and my team were very impressed by her knowledge, professionalism and passion for customer/client care. On a purely personal basis (not connected to RBS/W&G) my Husband and I have used Carries firm APT Legal for our wills. Carrie went out of her way to make the process as easy and hassle free as possible and we found her service to be of the highest standards.

Carrie did exactly what her website promoted and helped us ‘every step of the way’ through what was a challenging and difficult subject to have to deal with. Carrie is so professional, informative and friendly, she guided us through every stage; building complete confidence in her ability. We are delighted that we found Carrie amongst thousands of other solicitors and feel like we have made a new friend.

We would not hesitate to recommend Carrie to anybody reading this. ‘A first class friendly service’.

As a first time buyer and not knowing anyone personally in the profession to sort advice, I was very fortunate to have been given the details of Carrie who has done a sterling job in guiding my partner and I through the processes required. She gave sound knowledge and made everything absolutely clear in “plain English” and on the matter of Wills, was very tactful, but precise with her expert knowledge.

Carrie put our mind at ease and at no point did we ever feel she was there because it was her job and for the money – infact she was there at the end of the phone any time and any questions were answered and Carrie was always happy to help! Always has a smile on her face while always being professional, helpful and friendly.

I would and will recommend Carrie to anyone who was in my shoes and looking for excellent professional advice and skills like Carrie has and will remain thankful to her.

Truly recommended!!

Having a child prompted my wife and I to finally get round to sorting out our Wills, luckily Carrie was on hand to expertly help us through the process. Carrie offered a professional and efficient service whilst being understanding and informative in an area which can be daunting for some people. Carrie made the process easy and stress free and although you can’t put a price on piece of mind the service offered was great value for money. I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone requiring a similar service.

Following a serious illness, I realised that there was a real need to get my affairs in order and write a will. Carrie was extremely professional and helpful and took me through the entire process, highlighting all the possibilities and ensuring that my wishes are legally documented. In addition, Carrie helped me to prepare power of attorneys which my family can use in the event of incapacitation. With both documents written, I now have peace of mind that my loved ones will be taken care of should the worst happen. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Carrie

I’d previously used Carrie and her team to redo my will after my daughter became of age to inherit. More recently she arranged my LPA. On both occasions the service was personable, friendly, thorough, professional and incredibly easy. Thank you Carrie, and your team, for bringing me peace in case the worst happens.

We decided after many years of discussions to re-write our Wills and make Power of Attorneys. We contacted APT Legal and Carrie came out to my office to go through everything we needed. Carrie is very professional and knows her stuff! Would definitely recommend.

With a change in personal circumstances, I needed advice on how to set out my wishes in updating my Will. Having been recommended APT legal, I had a long conversation with Carrie. Immediately I felt confident that she was listening and understanding my thoughts. I felt confident to accept her advice and the Will was written and approved. Signing took place through Zoom. Carrie also recommended that I consider Local Power of Attorneys for Health and Welfare, and Property and Financial Matters. Again these were prepared with attention to detail. I am very pleased that these important issues have been carefully dealt with and can highly recommend APT Legal.
