Why MP Estate Planning 
Matters
The Challenge Facing Families
MP Estate Planning, founded by Mike Pugh, provides 
straightforward, transparent guidance on estate planning 
services in England and Wales. Each year, 10,000 individuals 
engage in battles within their own families over inheritance —

The truth is, estate planning costs far less than most people 
assume — and far less than the consequences of not planning 
at all.
