Free tools first. Specialist help if and when you want it.
Everyone arrives at estate planning from a different place. Some people just want a number and a clear explanation. Some know they need professional help and want a trustworthy way to find it. Some have estates that will need attention for years, not weeks. Estate Planning Specialists works at all three levels. The first is free for everyone, always, and there is never any obligation to go further.
For anyone, at any stage. No sign-up, no catch. Our calculators estimate inheritance tax, check your nil rate bands, project probate costs and test your exposure to the April 2027 pension changes, all using current 2026/27 HMRC figures with the working shown. Alongside them sit plain-English guides to probate, wills and estate planning, written from gov.uk, HMRC and HMCTS sources and dated so you know they are current.
