Family Law Solicitors
We offer a full range of Family Legal Services. Whether you are embarking upon living together or whether your marriage has broken down and you require advice we can help and in most cases can offer a fixed fee.
If you need a solicitor in Kings Hill, Laker Legal Solicitors is here to provide clear, tailored legal support. We start with a free, no-obligation discussion. This way, you can talk through your situation and understand how we can help before making any decisions.
We know choosing a solicitor can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure what kind of legal assistance you need. Our friendly and professional team will guide you through the process, making it straightforward, accessible, and adapted to your circumstances.
How we work.
Our solicitors and support staff are based at our Lancaster head office, working there and remotely. We also hold consulting rooms in Kings Hill for booked appointments.
Our conveyancing service is fully remote. We act for clients across England and Wales by telephone, email and secure video, so you won’t need to visit us at any stage. All our other services, including family law, Wills and probate, can be handled remotely too. Where a face-to-face meeting is necessary, we’ll arrange one — at our Kings Hill consulting rooms, at your home, or by video.
OUR LEGAL SERVICES IN KINGS HILL
Family Law
We offer a full range of Family legal services, from private children matters, divorce and financial matters upon divorce, to the drafting of bespoke legal documents such as prenuptial agreements, living together agreements and separation agreements.
Our solicitors frequently appear throughout the Medway, Dartford, Maidstone and Canterbury Family Courts. We have a wealth of experience in all family law areas.
We offer a free initial telephone appointment, arranged in advance at a time convenient to you — an opportunity to discuss your circumstances in confidence and understand the options available to you before you instruct us.
Please note that we do not offer legal aid.
Residential Conveyancing
We provide a comprehensive residential conveyancing service for clients in Kings Hill and beyond. Whether you are buying or selling a freehold, leasehold, or new build property, we can assist.
Our conveyancing service is fully remote, and that is a deliberate choice. Documents are exchanged securely by email, telephone and video call, and we use electronic ID verification to complete regulatory checks quickly and securely. There is no time off work and no travelling to an office to sign something you could sign at your kitchen table, which means we can move your matter forward without unnecessary delays.
Our firm is accredited with the CQS mark, which stands for Conveyancing Quality Scheme. The Law Society awards this accreditation to conveyancing practices that demonstrate the highest standards of service, client care, and practice management. It gives you confidence that your property transaction is in safe and capable hands.
We offer a range of fixed fees for all conveyancing. These are based on the value of the property, whether you are buying or selling it, and whether it is leasehold or freehold, registered or unregistered land. Use our online calculator for a quote today. Conveyancing matters begin with a written quote rather than an initial appointment, though our team will be glad to answer any questions before you instruct us.
We have acted for many of Kings Hill’s current and future residents and have a clear understanding of the different management companies across each phase of the Kings Hill development.
Commercial Property
Our Commercial Property team is headed by Stephen Ogden, who has extensive experience in all commercial lease and property-related matters. Our team can advise on:
- Commercial lease drafting
- Development and finance
- Sub-leasing and assignments
- Service charge and ground rent disputes
Will Writing & Lasting Power of Attorney Services
We provide a comprehensive Will writing service with fixed fees. Whether you need a single Will for yourself or a mirror Will for you and your partner or spouse, we can help.
Your Will or LPA is prepared by telephone, email and video, which is what most clients prefer, and Lasting Power of Attorney services are also available at fixed fees. A Will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses, and an LPA has its own signature requirements — we will explain exactly what is needed and guide you through it step by step. Where a face-to-face meeting is necessary, we will arrange one at our Kings Hill consulting rooms or, depending on your circumstances, at your home.
Working this way saves you both time and cost, without compromising on professional legal advice or personal attention.
Probate & Intestacy
Our solicitors and lawyers deal with a wide variety of estate work. This ranges from straightforward applications for Grants of Probate to locating potential beneficiaries arising out of intestate estates.
We can manage the entire probate process remotely by telephone, video call or email, and all ID and compliance checks are carried out securely through our electronic system. Original documents should be posted to our Lancaster head office or handed over at a booked appointment, so that nothing of importance is left unattended.
Probate Disputes
We deal with a wide variety of work in this area, from removing executors for breach of their executor duties to bringing claims on behalf of beneficiaries pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
We follow the ACTAPS code of conduct. Our solicitors handle these complex and highly emotional disputes with extensive experience and professionalism.
Legal Settlement Agreements
When disputes arise, the parties involved may use a legal settlement to resolve the situation and move forward. Our settlement agreement solicitors support both employees and employers, helping to resolve disputes through financial settlements.
We will take the time to understand the specifics of your situation and create a tailor-made strategy to guide you towards the best outcome.
We manage every aspect of the process remotely via telephone, email, or video call, providing expert advice and meeting tight deadlines without the need for in-person meetings.
Our Quality Mark
At Laker Legal Solicitors, we deliver high-quality legal services and demonstrate our commitment to excellence through the Law Society’s Lexcel Accredited Quality Mark, which recognises outstanding client care and practice management.
We uphold these standards with rigorous internal policies and processes, independently assessed to ensure we manage every case and file efficiently and professionally.
We are fully authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales, giving you confidence in our expertise and professionalism.
