in Bath and Somerset


Mitre & Co is an independent provider of legal services to clients in Bath and the wider Somerset area.

Led by Joshua Pugsley, a qualified solicitor and specialist estate planner, our services include estate planning, Will drafting, powers of attorney, inheritance-related disputes, and tax planning. We can also arrange and coordinate advice regarding property and conveyancing, divorce/family law matters, business, and dispute resolution matters.

We have experience acting for individuals, families, landlords, business owners, executors/trustees and beneficiaries of estates.

Please do contact us if you have a query. One of our advisers will be in touch to arrange an initial consultation, either via telephone or in-person.

Our Services

  • Our Will drafting and advisory services include everything from putting simple Wills in place, drafting and advising on various testamentary trusts, advising on managing potential disputes, Inheritance Tax planning, and providing detailed succession planning advice in relation to special assets such as farms, businesses and foreign property.

  • Whether you are concerned about future Inheritance Tax bills, need assistance with probate tax returns, or would like advice on ways to reduce your potential tax exposure, we can help. We also work with external accountants and investment advisors when required.

  • Aside from drafting trusts to be included in client’s Wills (where required) we also assist with setting up trusts during one’s lifetime. This can be for a number of reasons, but typical reasons include protecting family assets, providing for vulnerable beneficiaries and managing matters of succession.

    We can also advise on tax matters regarding trusts, powers of trustees and the day-to-day administration of trusts.

  • We can assist with putting Lasting Powers of Attorney in place and, where needed, can assist with deputyship applications. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

  • We have significant experience with the administration of estates. Whether someone passes away with or without a Will, and whether their assets are simple or complex, we can help.
