Our Legal Services in Whitby

No two situations are the same. That’s why we never treat our clients like numbers. Whether it’s a property purchase, a future-planning decision, or a delicate estate matter, we take time to understand your circumstances and deliver advice you can trust.

Residential Property Conveyancing

Buying or selling a home in Whitby? It’s a big decision, both emotionally and financially, especially if it’s your first home. With so much at stake when moving house, having the right legal team matters. That’s where we come in.

Our conveyancing solicitors in our Whitby branch ensure your property transaction runs smoothly. With more than 20 years of experience handling everything from holiday cottages to modern new builds, we manage the legal details so you can focus on the bigger picture.

We handle:

  • Property sales and purchases
  • Remortgages and title transfers
  • Shared ownership and equity releases

From properties near the Abbey to homes tucked into Whitby’s winding lanes, we deal with the paperwork, liaise with lenders and agents, with professionalism and keep you informed at every stage.

Commercial Property Conveyancing

If you’re expanding a business, leasing a retail unit, or buying commercial premises in Whitby, having a solid legal partner is essential. We make sure your transaction is not only legally sound but aligned with your wider business objectives.

Our Whitby solicitors act for business owners, developers, landlords, and investors across the region. We advise on:

  • Lease agreements and renewals
  • Sales and acquisitions of business premises
  • Site purchases and planning reviews

Whether it’s a small café or a larger development, we help you navigate commercial property law with confidence and clarity.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so. It’s a wise move for long-term planning, and the process is easier with the right legal support.

We help Whitby clients create LPAs with sensitivity and clarity, making sure every detail is right. You can rely on us to:

  • Help you choose the right attorney(s)
  • Explain the differences between financial and health LPAs
  • Prepare and register the documents properly
  • Offer guidance on your rights and responsibilities

An LPA isn’t about giving up control, it’s about keeping control, even if life takes an unexpected turn.

Wills & Amendments

Having a legally sound will ensures your wishes are followed and your loved ones are protected. It’s one of the most important legal steps you can take, and we make it as straightforward as possible.

Our Whitby will solicitors provide sensitive, confidential support whether you’re writing a will for the first time or updating an existing one. We take the time to understand your priorities and explain your options in plain terms.

We also assist with:

  • Appointing guardians for children
  • Inheritance tax planning
  • Setting up trusts
  • Charitable gifts and legacy planning

Whatever your situation, we help you put your intentions clearly into writing.

Probate & Estate Administration

Managing a loved one’s estate can be an emotional and daunting task. If you’re an executor or a family member needing help with probate, our probate solicitors in Whitby are here to guide you with care and compassion.

We assist with:

  • Applying for probate or letters of administration
  • Collecting and valuing estate assets
  • Paying off debts and settling tax affairs
  • Distributing the estate fairly and legally

From modest estates to complex situations, we work diligently to ease the burden and provide the support you need during a difficult time.
