What Is Composed Here
The instruments of a considered estate. Composed once. Held together.
A drafting room equipped for principals across both jurisprudential traditions.
The will
The will is the principal's voice at the moment of transfer. It names the heirs, the executor, the substitute executor, the guardians where minor children sit in the family, and the residual distribution. Composed under the Wills Act 1959, in the register the principal's estate requires.
The trust
Where the estate carries assets that should not pass directly into the hands of an heir at the moment of transfer — a business interest, a property abroad, a sum held against a future life event, a dependant who will require lifetime provision — the trust composes the holding. The trustee is named with the same care as the executor. The letter of wishes is drafted in the same room as the trust deed, and reads in the same voice.
The shareholder instruction
For principals who hold a closely-held company, the shareholder instruction sits inside the estate composition, not outside it. Pre-emption, valuation method, succession of voting interests, family-versus-management board posture — these questions are answered in writing before they need to be answered in grief.
The family governance memorandum
Where the estate spans more than one generation of intent, the memorandum names the principal's posture on succession, on philanthropy, on the family's relationship to its own capital. It is not a legal instrument. It is the document the next generation will read when they need to remember why the architecture was composed the way it was.
No pricing is published. The fee for the composition is discussed once, privately, with the principal whom the composition is for.
