PLG are the leading property service providers to legal professionals across England and Wales who specialise in Probate, Court of Protection, and Trust.

The services that we offer were pioneered by our founders back in 2013, with a focus on taking the stress out of the property process for the families experiencing the loss of a loved one, or where they are acting on behalf of someone who has lost capacity.

We focus on delivering fair, transparent fees. Offering no tie-in period contracts, and mitigating the legal professionals’ risk by way of providing ongoing support that demonstrates their clients’ best interests are always served.

We also stand firmly against ‘Maintenance Mark Ups’ and are fighting to bring in legislation that means property service providers must declare this practice.

In addition to the work PLG is doing in the sector to help estates realise the maximum value for every property they assist with, Darren now also writes for The Law Society, The Association of Lifetime Lawyers, The Society of Will Writers, and chairs the Profectus Private Client Round Table.
